With New Jersey hosting eight World Cup matches this summer, the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office is taking a proactive, multi-part approach to stifle human trafficking, elevate the issue on a global stage, and ensure the tournament is not used by criminals to exploit vulnerable people and workers.

“From the beginning of my tenure, I identified human trafficking as a major priority. In light of the World Cup, additional enforcement is taking place and support resources are available. Our efforts help survivors and victims while holding perpetrators of this crime accountable. Each of us, working together in ways big and small, can end the nightmare that human trafficking victims endure day in and day out. And our efforts do not end with the World Cup; we will continue to do this work for survivors and victims — those who have shown the courage to come forward so law enforcement can act, bring traffickers to justice, and prevent further victimization.” – AG Davenport
