Working together to stop and prevent human trafficking in Ottawa County.

WHAT IS HUMAN TRAFFICKING?

Human trafficking is a form of modern slavery—a multi-billion dollar criminal industry that denies freedom to 20.9 million people around the world. And no matter where you live, chances are it’s happening nearby. From the girl forced into prostitution at a truck stop, to the man discovered in a restaurant kitchen, stripped of his passport and held against his will—all trafficking victims share one essential experience: the loss of freedom.
