In February of 2005, co-founders AnnJanette Alejano-Steele and Amanda Finger established what has become The Laboratory to Combat Human Trafficking’s (LCHT). This was in response to local demand for improved statewide responses to both sex and labor human trafficking. LCHT has established itself as a leader in the anti-human trafficking movement, by developing a niche within existing anti-trafficking efforts: - Training first-responders who encounter victims and survivors of trafficking; - Building the capacity of organizations that serve victims and work to combat human trafficking; - Filling information gaps through community-based research; and - Growing community-awareness.In 2013 LCHT also began managing the Colorado Network to End Human Trafficking (CoNEHT) Hotline (1-800-455-5075). This crisis, tip and referral hotline is operated by trained staff and volunteers and is available 24/7 to: - Provide emergency counseling to victims/survivors; - Connect them to other social, legal and housing services; and - Accept tips and information regarding trafficking cases.
