COVA’s Human Trafficking Program supports survivors who meet the definition of trafficking under the Federal Trafficking Victims Protection Act. This Act defines a human trafficking victim as anyone compelled to perform labor or a commercial sex act through force, fraud, or coercion. It also establishes that any person under 18 involved in a commercial sex act is a trafficking victim, regardless of whether force, fraud, or coercion occurred. In Colorado, forced labor or commercial sex involving a minor is recognized as a form of child abuse.
All members of COVA’s Human Trafficking Program are mandatory reporters and are required by law (C.R.S.19-3-304) to report child abuse/neglect, elder abuse/neglect, and abuse/neglect of at-risk adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities as well as anyone who is of imminent risk of harm to self or others.
