H.E.A.T. Watch – Stop Human Exploitation and Trafficking

Human Trafficking Hides in Plain Sight

What can you do?

It takes a village to rescue a child and prosecute a trafficker – Alameda County District Attorney Nancy E. O’Malley.

We need to work together as a community, as a nation, to stop this epidemic of modern-day slavery. Only by educating ourselves, pooling our resources and reaching out to victims can we make a difference.

Mission

The mission of H.E.A.T. Watch is to develop an effective, comprehensive, collaborative and regional response to human trafficking of all forms; to provide tools, education and community engagement to change societal, legal and institutional approaches; and to support victims and hold their offenders accountable.

What We Do

H.E.A.T. Watch is a five point program designed to combat human trafficking by raising community awareness, training law enforcement, prosecuting offenders, coordinating victim services, and changing legislative policy.
