Education
Cast’s Training and Technical Assistance programs teach and promote human trafficking prevention, identification and response to a variety of audiences across the US. We research human trafficking and evaluate client data in order to support advocacy efforts and improve outcomes for survivors.
Advocacy
Using over 25 years’ experience and evidence from survivors, we advocate for local, state, national, and global leaders to pass policies to protect survivors and prevent human trafficking. Our Survivor Leadership Program empowers survivors to become policy advocates, in order to build an anti-trafficking movement led by survivors.
“No one reaches out to survivors with greater passion and greater personal commitment than Cast does.”
John Kerry
Former United States Secretary of State
