Cape Cod PATH: People Against Trafficking Humans Cape Cod PATH (People Against Trafficking Humans) is a grass-roots task force working to end human trafficking (HT) and its risks in Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

Recognizing that all risk factors associated with human trafficking are present here, CAPE COD PATH was established in January 2014 to raise awareness about its existence on the Cape. Inspired by the film screening of Hidden in Plain Sight in January 2014, a group of concerned citizen volunteers came together to do something about HT and immediately decided to form a task force. They conducted a search to determine if there were any statistics or resources about HT on Cape Cod, and found there were no statistics and only one organization equipped to help victims cope with their trauma. Knowing there are an estimated tens of thousands of people who are trafficked within the U.S. and millions more trafficked globally, we compiled our own statistics by aligning the risk factors associated with HT with demographic data already known about the local community. We are developing a plan of action based on the evidence and an assessment of local needs. Our strategic, local solutions are informed by this evidence-based assessment and designed for multi-disciplinary collaboration with community partners. From the beginning, our members have had a strong working relationship with a Victim Assistance Specialist in the Department of Homeland Security Investigations. In addition, we are in the process of developing partnerships with local organizations. We also continue to grow as an organization. This is thanks to the commitment and talent of our members and a concerned, engaged community. Cape Cod PATH is a project of The Cape Cod Foundation. CC PATH’s fiscal sponsor is The Cape Cod Foundation, providing us with 501(c)3, non-profit status. All donations are tax deductible.

This art was created by women inside the Barnstable County Correctional Facility. It expresses their hopes, feelings and experiences of human trafficking. This is an issue here on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and New England, with devasting consequences.

In 2024, there were 115 identified cases of human trafficking, particularly s*x and labor trafficking, with 326 survivors in Massachusetts.

According to the late, great Janice Hank, of Cape Cod PATH: People Against Trafficking Humans , “In every town there is some human trafficking, labor trafficking, domestic servitude … no one is exempt.”
