The HTTF was founded in October 2005 to promote a collaborative effort among community based organizations, non-governmental organizations (NGO’s), service providers and law enforcement agencies to develop a coordinated approach to fighting the crimes of human trafficking. Since the HTTF inception, the group has been developing protocols regarding collaborative efforts between law enforcement, oth

er governmental agencies and NGO’s in an effort to bridge the gap between these entities to combat human trafficking within our communities. The NGO’s have played a critical part in meeting the immediate needs of identified victims; medical, psychological, financial, and basic daily needs. With the NGO’s help, law enforcement agencies are able to focus their attention on investigations and prosecutions of human trafficking suspects. Human trafficking is a crime involving the exploitation of someone for the purposes of compelled labor or a commercial s*x act through the use of force, fraud, or coercion. Human trafficking affects individuals across the world, including here in the United States, and is commonly regarded as one of the most pressing human rights issues of our time. Human trafficking affects every community in the United States across age, gender, ethnicity, and socio-economic backgrounds. S*x trafficking is the recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, obtaining, patronizing, or soliciting of a person for the purposes of a commercial s*x act, in which the commercial s*x act is induced by force, fraud, or coercion, or in which the person induced to perform such an act has not attained 18 years of age (22 USC § 7102). Labor trafficking is the recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, or obtaining of a person for labor or services, through the use of force, fraud, or coercion for the purposes of subjection to involuntary servitude, peonage, debt bo***ge, or slavery, (22 USC § 7102).
