Recognizing that victims of trafficking often have limited access to legal counsel and few viable legal options, the Anti-Human Trafficking Initiative offers knowledgeable legal representation and corresponding legal resources to victims.

By working with law enforcement, whose mission is to protect the American people, the Anti-Human Trafficking Initiative aims to become a leading legal resource to protect the civil rights of sex trafficking victims, focusing on those who are most susceptible, particularly transgender women of color.

If you yourself may be a victim of human trafficking or you know someone who may be a victim of sex trafficking, please contact us HERE. 

K&L Gates, in conjunction with law enforcement, founded the Anti-Human Trafficking Initiative to (1) identify members of the LGBTQ+ community in Western Pennsylvania who may be victims of human trafficking and (2) connect victims (or potential victims and/or individuals who know of victims) to law enforcement to help sex trafficking victims. Though the Anti-Human Trafficking Initiative was designed to identify LGBTQ+ victims, a historically underserved community, K&L Gates will do its best to help all victims of sex trafficking, regardless of sexual orientation and/or identity. 

The Anti-Human Trafficking Initiative’s mission is to serve a resource for victims of sex trafficking to help educate them and allow them to receive the protections they are afforded under the Constitution.
