The Ohio Attorney General’s Human Trafficking Victim Services Directory is a new resource designed to connect trafficking victims and survivors throughout the state with much-needed Ohio-specific resources, including emergency shelters, emergency services, psychological support, legal support and more.
The directory consists of a searchable database of organizations and programs that offer emergency, transitional or long-term services to trafficking victims and survivors.
Prior to their inclusion in the database, organizations and programs completed a self-assessment of their alignment with Ohio’s Standards for Serving Trafficked Persons, with the results then reviewed by the Ohio Human Trafficking Commission’s Victim Services Committee.
If you would like your organization or program to be included in the Victim Services Directory, you must start by completing the Ohio Human Trafficking Services Standards Self-Assessment. You can learn more about the self-assessment here.
If you need to update your existing directory information, please email the desired changes to Attorney General Yost’s Human Trafficking Initiative at HTI@OhioAGO.gov. Likewise, if you have questions about the directory, send them to HTI@OhioAGO.gov.
