The Laboratory to Combat Human Trafficking's (LCHT) mission is to inform social change that eliminates human exploitation; our vision is the end of human trafficking. Our programs areas include training & education, research and action, a hotline & resource directory, and leadership development. Since 2005, LCHT has trained more than 30,000 community members, law enforcement, and social service providers, conducted two state-wide research projects and over 150 interns and community leaders have participated in our leadership development programs. Through our efforts, LCHT influences and shapes the anti-human trafficking movement at the local, state, regional, and national levels.
