Anti-Human Trafficking Committee

To empower member companies to confront the critical issues of human trafficking, individually displaced persons (IDPs), and refugees through comprehensive education, advocacy, authorship, partnership, and outreach.

Human trafficking, a global crisis that impacts 25 million people and generates $150 billion in illicit funds each year, involves the recruitment, transportation, harboring, or receipt of individuals through force, fraud, or deception for exploitation. Its social and legal impacts are profound, affecting countless lives across sectors and requiring a coordinated, multi-stakeholder response.

Similarly, the challenges faced by IDPs, and refugees remain persistent and complex global issues, demanding our collective effort to foster stability and security for those most vulnerable. We are committed to addressing these challenges by equipping our members with the resources and support they need to drive meaningful change.

• Collaborate on Awareness Initiatives: Work alongside industry leaders to develop campaigns and projects that raise public awareness about the realities and impacts of human trafficking.
• Influence Policy: Engage with policymakers and stakeholders to advocate for stronger protections and resources for vulnerable populations, both domestically and internationally.
• Develop Actionable Solutions: Contribute your expertise to create practical, scalable solutions aimed at preventing trafficking and supporting IDPs and refugees.
