​Pennsylvania Clearinghouse On Human Trafficking

The Pennsylvania Office of Victim Services has created this site as an information portal to share and coordinate statewide efforts to combat human trafficking.  On this site you will find information on state and federal efforts to combat trafficking, trainings on trafficking, and resources for victims and survivors.

According to the Department of Justice, human trafficking is a crime that involves compelling or coercing a person to provide labor or services, or to engage in commercial sexual acts. The coercion can be real or perceived, physical or psychological. For more information, please see the Department of Justice's webpage on human trafficking.
