Slavery exists in Montana today.  It is Human Trafficking.

The Montana Anti-Trafficking Project's purpose is to educate the public on how to recognize and report human trafficking and help victims gain access to services and treatment.  The mission of the Project is to raise awareness of and prevent human trafficking in Montana.

Human Trafficking, also called Trafficking in Persons, is a form of modern day slavery.  It is a crime under international, federal and state laws.  Even if we do not see it, it occurs all over the globe in both small towns and urban metropolitan cities. 

Human Trafficking includes service compelled through force, fraud or coercion.  Human trafficking is a violation of human rights.  Victims include both adults and children, both men and women.  Victims are compelled to perform sex acts or to work against their will. 

The Montana Anti-Trafficking Project seeks to end this type of modern day slavery. None of us are free while any of us are enslaved.
