Overview
The Center on Human Trafficking Research & Outreach (CenHTRO) was established in 2021 as a collaborative, cross-disciplinary, and international research hub in the global effort to combat human trafficking. CenHTRO draws upon three decades of cumulative research and practice by its faculty in Sub-Saharan Africa. Based in the University of Georgia School of Social Work and led by Dr. David Okech, pictured at right, the center conducts research, develops programming, and influences policies that drastically and measurably reduce human trafficking and other forms of exploitation.
