In partnership with the US Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI), JFS provides intensive case management and financial assistance to survivors of sex and labor trafficking in the US. Individuals are referred to JFS through the national trafficking hotline. Their identities are kept in total confidence as JFS helps them navigate medical, mental health, legal, and social services.

What is human trafficking?

Human trafficking is a form of modern-day slavery. This crime occurs when a trafficker uses force, fraud or coercion to control another person for the purpose of engaging in commercial sex acts or soliciting labor or services against his/her will. Force, fraud, or coercion need not be present if the individual engaging in commercial sex is under 18 years of age. (https://humantraffickinghotline.org/)

JFS partners with USCRI to ensure that survivors are treated with dignity and respect, and have the help they need to get on their feet and move forward as members of our community.
