Portland’s Human Trafficking Task Force

About the Organization

The Oregon Human Trafficking Task Force (OHTTF) was first funded in 2005 by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

The objectives of the task force include (a) locating victims of human trafficking and connecting them with necessary services, (b) identifying gaps in services for victims and developing strategies for filling those gaps and (c) coordinating efforts of law enforcement agencies to arrest and prosecute human traffickers. In recognition of the importance of the task force’s work, the City of Portland and Multnomah County passed resolutions in June 2009 recognizing the work of the Human Trafficking Task Force and supporting the Oregonians Against Trafficking Humans Campaign (OATH).

Oregonians Against Trafficking Humans (OATH) is the OHTTF statewide volunteer, education, outreach and awareness campaign.  We encourage Oregonians to learn about human trafficking, share your knowledge, and create practical solutions in your community. Learn more about OATH on Abolition Now.
