The New Jersey Coalition Against Human Trafficking is a survivor-inclusive organization that coordinates statewide community efforts to end sex and labor trafficking taking place in New Jersey. Our mission is to unite the state’s communities to end human trafficking by organizing speaking events, outreach, educational programs, and policy advocacy. We aim to help communities empower residents with the knowledge of what human trafficking is, how to prevent it, and how to support those affected by it.
To date, we have successfully advocated for the 2013 New Jersey Prevention, Protection, and Treatment Act, which passed unanimously and is now law, and have educated 7,100+ community members including students, educators, law enforcement, healthcare workers, and the public sector about the issue of human trafficking, have reached 900+ hotels and motels across 9 New Jersey counties, providing critical resources in multiple languages to help prevent trafficking in their establishments, and last year we hired 28 lived experience consultants to inform, teach about how we can make our organization the most effective organization in the United States that is fighting human trafficking.
NJCAHT is volunteer-led and our volunteers are located throughout the entire state of NJ.
