Prevent Human Trafficking

History

PHT developed from the passion of its founding members in addressing widespread child exploitation in Southeast Asia. Dedicated individuals were drawn together through their mutual commitment to these issues and formed PHT in 1999. Members had already been actively engaged in independently combating child exploitation in the region, either through non profit work, academic research, or teaching.
