Laboratory to Combat Human Trafficking

Description

Welcome to the Laboratory to Combat Human Trafficking (LCHT). We're anti-trafficking and we think you should be, too! In 2005, we launched Polaris Project Colorado with a small group of dedicated volunteers committed to ending human trafficking in Colorado. During our early years we supported local anti-trafficking efforts by raising public awareness, facilitating professional trainings, and conducting community-based research. In 2010, we formally transitioned to an an independent 501(c)3, and The Laboratory to Combat Human Trafficking was born. In the years since, we have: *Trained and educated over 25,000 first responders, professionals and community members. *Conducted three major research projects in Colorado to drive action and inform policy change. *Promoted a statewide Action Plan informed by our research and designed for communities across Colorado to combat trafficking and support survivors. *Started managing Colorado's 24/7 Human Trafficking Hotline. *Supported over 125 interns as future human rights leaders.
