United to End Human Trafficking.
Together, We Fight Exploitation.
AETF is a survivor-centered coalition of agencies, advocates, and leaders working to prevent trafficking,
protect victims, and prosecute exploitation in our community.
28 Million people
ARE TRAFFICKED WORLDWIDE.
We cannot end this one person, one survivor at a time. But with your help, we can target the systems that make human trafficking possible.
Myth
People being trafficked always want help escaping their situation.
Reality
Victims may be manipulated, fear for their safety, or distrust authorities, making it difficult for them to seek or accept help.
Myth
Human trafficking requires transportation across borders.
Reality
Trafficking is defined by exploitation, not movement. Victims can be trafficked in their own hometown or even within their own family.
Myth
All human trafficking involves commercial sex.
Reality
Trafficking includes forced labor, domestic servitude, and other forms of exploitation beyond just commercial sex.
Who We Are
Founded in 2023, the Anti-Exploitation Task Force exists to stand as a beacon of hope for individuals impacted by trafficking and exploitation. Much like the North Star guided many to freedom, our mission is to illuminate safe paths forward—empowering survivors, educating communities, and dismantling systems of abuse.
Providing crisis support, prevention resources, and survivor advocacy services.
Gathering real-time data to understand and address patterns of human trafficking and exploitation.
Building strategies that transform awareness into action and reform systems that enable exploitation.
National Survivor Study
The National Survivor Study is a scientifically rigorous research project developed in full partnership with survivors of human trafficking to gain insights that we can use to push for real and impactful change.
Increase Funding for Worker Protection Agencies
Chronic underfunding of the federal agency charged with protecting workers means labor traffickers are able to operate with impunity because they are pretty sure no one is watching. That has to change. The U.S. Department of Labor must have the resources to hire, train and deploy inspectors who visit job sites and make sure workers are being treated fairly.
Human Trafficking Training
Compassionate, committed individuals that care are the most powerful resource there is to prevent and reduce human trafficking. However, to leverage this power, we must ensure we are armed with the knowledge necessary to do the work.
