Our Mission
The Rochester Regional Coalition Against Human Trafficking (RRCAHT) is dedicated to eliminating human trafficking in our communities through education, advocacy, and networking with individuals and organizations.
What Is Human Trafficking?
Human trafficking is a form of modern-day slavery where people profit from the control and exploitation of others. As defined under the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA)
Victims of human trafficking can be young children, teenagers, men and women. They can be US citizens, Lawful Permanent Residents (LPRs), foreign nationals, and they can be found in urban, suburban, and rural areas
