Human trafficking hides in plain sight.
Human trafficking affects an estimated 50 million people globally. It’s rooted in greed, vulnerabilities and the demand for cheap labor and commercial sex. Also called modern-day slavery, human trafficking happens in every state and province, in every setting, whether rural or urban, across every socioeconomic, cultural or societal strata. It happens to men, women, boys and girls and relies on us being too busy or too apathetic to notice or care.
Our Approach
We disrupt trafficking through targeted systems change.
As traffickers exploit transportation systems to facilitate their crime, these same systems can be a lifeline for survivors. Of the survivors who participated in the National Outreach Survey on Transportation, 81% utilized transportation during their recruitment, 76% used transportation during the course of their exploitation, and 52% stated that transportation facilitated their exit or escape.
Key Industries
Billions of people, businesses and organizations rely on the trucking and passenger transportation industries to ship goods and travel to work, school or events. These same transportation systems are used by traffickers seeking to move or sell victims. Because of this intersection, TAT works with the transportation industry, empowering its employees to be points of safety and recovery for victims.
Key Agencies
Law enforcement and government agencies are critical to the arrest and prosecution of traffickers and the recovery of victims. TAT provides them with free, high-quality, digital and in-person training and works with them on specific initiatives to spread awareness and prevent trafficking.
Key Initiatives
TAT uses innovative strategies to enhance the impact and reach of our work. Through building public-private partnerships at the local and state levels, TAT is activating strategic pathways for industries and government agencies to work together to disrupt human trafficking. TAT’s mobile exhibits and special campaigns deepen understanding about this crime and improve youth safety.

It’s really an eye-opener for me ... thinking back, now I realize that I might have come across victims and their traffickers without knowing what was going on, and moving forward, I intend to pay more attention.
