Take a Stand against Human Trafficking at the Ocean County Library Brick Branch

BRICK TOWNSHIP – The New Jersey Coalition Against Human Trafficking (NJCAHT) is part of a global effort to derail the criminal enterprise that generates 150 billion dollars in profits each year and victimizes nearly 30 million people. Be part of the solution. Join us for “Human Trafficking 101: Overview and Prevention” at the Ocean County Library Brick Branch, 2:30 PM Monday, January 20.

In this informational program in observance of Human Trafficking Prevention Month, a NJCAHT representative will enlighten you about what constitutes human trafficking, how and where it is likely to occur, and what you can do if you encounter it.

The Short Hills-based Coalition consists of volunteers throughout the Garden State, certified through training by the Washington, D.C. nonprofit Polaris Project that works with survivor-led groups, support providers, businesses, and officials in government and law enforcement. 

According to NJCAHT figures, 11,500 cases were reported in 2019 in the United States alone. Worldwide, it is estimated that 75 percent of victims are women and children. The NJCAHT website features data, definitions, videos and information about its four volunteer committees.
