The On My Side Celebration honors courageous trafficking survivors and the community that stands with them.

The On My Side Celebration took place in New York City on Wednesday, Octover 4, 2023. Thank you to all who attended the event.

Your support makes all the difference.

 With you by their side, survivors can thrive.

What a Celebration!

On behalf of the entire Human Trafficking Legal Center team, we send a heartfelt thanks to everyone who joined us at the 2023 On My Side on Wednesday evening. You made the evening a great success. We gathered to honor four amazing women who inspire us with their remarkable work. 

We heard from courageous trafficking survivor leaders about their work to end trafficking.

Thanks to the generous support of our attendees, our community, and our sponsors, we managed to raise more than $273,000. These funds will be used to secure justice for trafficking survivors, hold traffickers accountable for their crimes, and drive systemic change.
