Trafficking In Georgia

The State of Georgia is aggressively fighting human trafficking through a coalition of law enforcement, state agencies, non-profit and for-profit organizations, faith institutions and subject matter experts.  

Progress is being made through Governor Kemp's Georgians for Refuge, Action, Compassion, and Education (GRACE) Commission, the approval of funding for the state's first-ever Human Trafficking Prosecution Unit under the State Attorney General's Office, the statewide collaborative work of the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council's Human Trafficking Task Force, and legislation aimed at severely punishing criminals and protecting victims.

State employees also have an important role to play in the fight against human trafficking. Here’s how you can help: 

  • Take Human Trafficking Awareness Training 
  • Learn the signs of human trafficking 
  • Report suspected cases to the National Human Trafficking Hotline at 1-888-373-7888 

  • Call 911 if a victim is in imminent danger
