How do you find jobs in human trafficking? I am very interested in that field as well. I was thinking of going to a local volunteer thing but will see.
I work in IT now. so it is a little different than fighting human trafficking.

I've been following anti-trafficking organizations and leaders for around 5 years now. There are MANY ways you can get involved, both as a paid employee and volunteer. IT is definitely needed so your skills could come in handy when applying for positions. For example, the Polaris Project uses dark web tracking on websites like Backpage to find traffickers and rescue victims. There are multiple companies creating realistic virtual characters and using them as bait to find those using illegal sexual services. There are options with the UN, the Hague, International Justice Mission (if you're religious), A21 Campaign, Dressember, literally countless options. A quick Google search would bring up hundreds of NGOs fighting labor and sex trafficking.
As for volunteering, be prepared for a LOT of training before being allowed to participate. Work with sex trafficking survivors tends to be more training intensive than labor trafficking. Some non-training options: participate in the End It Movement or Dressember (if you're male you would wear a bowtie instead of a dress). I'm female and live in the Portlandb OR area, a trafficking hotspot. So I joined the Junior League which is currently focusing on ending violence against women and children. Next week I have two meetings regarding trafficking, what's going on in my area, and opportunities available to League members to volunteer with organizations working on these issues. In the coming months I'll be volunteering at a trafficking survivors safe house through the League and hope to join the trafficking committee. If you live in a hot spot (you may be surprised!) check with your local county office, police department, and women's shelters to see what options you may have to get involved.
It's hard work and most people burn out quick. But if you're dedicated, educated on the issues, and open to grueling, unglamorous, sometimes infuriating work (particularly when justice isn't served) it's a field that definitely needs people fighting on the front lines.
Oh and foster care! Immigration rights! These people are our most vulnerable to being trafficked and both sectors are always in desperate need of volunteers! This is a great way to "get your hours in" so to speak as well as get your feet wet.
