Global Center on Human Trafficking (GCHT)

The Global Center on Human Trafficking at Montclair State University (GCHT) is a leading advocacy hub committed to fighting human trafficking through education, outreach, and legislative action. Our mission focuses on preventing trafficking, supporting survivors, and driving policy change by harnessing the expertise of scholars, practitioners, and survivor leaders. We engage with both the campus and local community with awareness campaigns, training programs, and partnerships with government and non-governmental organizations—all working together to create a world free from exploitation.

Montclair State University, one of the most diverse higher education institutions in the United States, has a history of supporting social justice and human rights issues affecting communities across the world. What began as a university initiative spearheaded by a group of committed leaders, faculty, and staff has grown into a global center collaborating with survivors around the world to transform the response to human trafficking.
