CAST Recommendations on an All of Government Approach to Combat Sex and Labor Trafficking in California for the Little Hoover Commission November 2019

CAST was one of the first organizations set up in the United States to address human trafficking at both the grassroots and policy levels. It was founded in response to the discovery of 72 Thai workers who had been kept for seven years in slavery and debt bondage in East Los Angeles in 1998. CAST’s model is a ‘continuum of care’ designed to empower survivors to rebuild their lives – from providing social and legal services to facilitating survivor leadership in the anti-trafficking movement. Cast’s direct work with survivors informs our policy priorities and recommendations at local, state and national levels. Based in Los Angeles, we serve victims of all forms of human trafficking (labor and sex trafficking) – no matter their age, ethnicity, nationality or gender.
