When we hear the words “human trafficking,” it’s easy to believe that it’s a crime that only happens overseas – but the truth is, human trafficking happens right here at home, in the neighborhoods and communities we know and love. Human trafficking happens when someone is forced, coerced, or fraudulently convinced to work or to have sex for the benefit of someone else. It does not discriminate based on age, gender, socioeconomic status, race, or neighborhood.
Our Mission
The Community Coalition Against Human Trafficking unites and equips our community to end human trafficking by raising awareness, facilitating training and education, fostering collaborative efforts, and providing a specialized continuum of care, from prevention to restoration, through our program Grow Free TN.
CCAHT has completely changed my entire life. I’ve been trafficked twice. I’m 43 and I’m just learning what a real hug feels like.
