The Washington Anti-Trafficking Response Network (WARN) is a coalition of non-governmental organizations that provide direct services to victims of human trafficking in Washington State. Since 2004, WARN has assisted survivors of sex and/or labor trafficking to live out their desired lives without re-victimization.
What is Human Trafficking?
Human trafficking is defined as the use of force, fraud or coercion to compel a person into any form of work against their will.
Who We Are
The International Rescue Committee in Seattle leads the WARN coalition of organizations working together to serve victims of trafficking and to increase victim identification. Our partners are API Chaya, Real Escape from the Sex Trade, and YouthCare.
It is invaluable for WARN to be a coalition of community-based agencies serving communities vulnerable to human trafficking. This allows WARN to share information about available services with these communities, to provide low-barrier access to services, and also to provide linguistically and culturally-informed services to victims and survivors of human trafficking. Additionally, each WARN partner brings different expertise and capacity to serve clients, allowing for the provision of comprehensive services.
