Human trafficking is the recruitment, transportation, or harboring of people by means of force, fraud, or coercion for the purpose of exploitation. It is one of the fastest-growing criminal enterprises in the world, and it can happen anywhere and to anyone, including in our own communities. The many forms of human trafficking include forced labor, slavery and other forms of servitude, sexual exploitation, and organ trafficking. People in New Jersey are harmed by human trafficking every day – but with your help, we can stop this destructive form of human rights abuse.

AVANZAR’s Dream Free program provides holistic services for individuals aged 21 and under who have been trafficked in any form at a statewide level. These services include crisis response and counseling, system advocacy, and in-community outreach. We also support survivors in accessing the holistic services they need to live safely, freely, and independently.

If you or someone you know is a victim of human trafficking, please contact our 24-hour hotline at 1-800-286-4184.
