Here’s an amazing video from the newly-formed Laboratory to Combat Human Trafficking (LCHT). Formerly Polaris Project Colorado, LCHT became an independent entity last year. Their focus is on compiling much needed hard data on the extent of modern-day slavery.

The video above is an introduction to LCHT. It illustrates how wide spread modern-day slavery is; how entrenched it is in virtually every part of the world, in every segment of the population, in any industry. But it also shows how it is possible to eradicate it—if we confront it and work together.

“If we want to end human trafficking, we have to start looking at it all,” this PSA says. “You don’t have to solve it all but know that everything is tied together.”

We’re excited to see the work of LCHT unfold!
