Collaborative to End Human Trafficking

Over 320 community members joined us last Thursday for The State of Human Trafficking, both at the luncheon and via livestream, for an important conversation about what human trafficking looks like here—and how all of us can help change what happens next.

We released our first State of Human Trafficking in Cuyahoga County report, which examines what the community knows, what remains unseen, and what our community still needs to do to build a more coordinated response. The report is available on our website: https://collabtoendht.org/

Thank you to Perkoski Photography for capturing the event.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the SOLD OUT State of Human Trafficking Community Luncheon today. This event was about more than reflecting on 20 years of work. It was about having an important conversation about what human trafficking looks like here—and how all of us can help change what happens next.

Weren’t able to join us? Stay tuned as we share highlights from our State of Human Trafficking report, which was presented for the first time at today’s luncheon.

A partnership that makes this important conversation possible.

We are honored to recognize the Sisters of the Humility of Mary as the Lead Sponsor of The State of Human Trafficking.

Their extraordinary investment helps bring our community together, elevate survivor leadership, deepen our understanding of human trafficking in Cuyahoga County and strengthen the work that must continue long after this event.

For 20 years, the Collaborative has educated, convened and challenged our community to build a more informed and coordinated response. Partners like the Sisters of the Humility of Mary make it possible to carry that work forward.

Thank you for standing with survivors—and for investing in what comes next.

The room is full. But the conversation is bigger than the room.

IN-PERSON TICKETS: SOLD OUT!

The response sends a powerful message: our community is ready for a deeper, more informed conversation about human trafficking, and ready to be part of what comes next.

If you didn't get a seat in the room, you can still join us via livestream. Hear from nationally recognized survivor leader and keynote speaker Alia Azariah, and be among the first to learn what our community's first-ever report reveals about human trafficking in Cuyahoga County.

Livestream tickets are $25: https://collabtoendht.coalitionmanager.org/eventmanager/trainingevent/details/105

Join us on September 24. The room may be full, but there is still a place for you in this conversation.

For 20 years, we have learned alongside, educated and convened partners across our community to better prevent, recognize and respond to human trafficking.

On September 24, we will bring that experience together at The State of Human Trafficking: A Community Luncheon—and share the clearest, most honest picture we currently have of human trafficking in Cuyahoga County.

This is more than a reflection on 20 years of work. It is an important conversation about what trafficking looks like here, whether our response has kept pace and what must happen next.

Join us in person—or experience the program live online starting at noon EST with a $25 livestream ticket.

YOU ASKED. WE LISTENED.

The room just got bigger.

Can’t attend The State of Human Trafficking in person? We’ve added a new $25 livestream option so you can experience the heart of the program from wherever you are.

Join us live for opening remarks from Cuyahoga County Executive Chris Ronayne, followed by a powerful keynote from Alia Azariah examining what human trafficking looks like in Cuyahoga County today—and what must come next.

Twenty years ago, much of our community was still asking whether human trafficking happened here.

Today, we are asking harder questions:
How has trafficking changed? Has our response kept pace? And what will the next 20 years require from us?
