We are a nationally recognized not-for-profit organization committed to ending human trafficking in the United States. With offices strategically located in Tampa, Washington D.C., Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and Austin, we are aggressively focused on ending this massive problem happening right here in America by fighting the demand for purchased sex.
Our goal is to combat the consumer demand for purchased sex in the United States by creating nationwide Trafficking Free Zones, educating the public about the issue, providing help to victims and survivors, and empowering volunteer abolitionists to take a stand in their communities.
For the United States to be a Trafficking Free Zone and to end the demand for human trafficking in our communities.
Our focus to end human trafficking in the U.S. is to educate American citizens and legislators, disrupt sex trade activities, consolidate efforts for maximum effect, and partner with other organizations in this fight.
increase awareness & education about THE dark REALITY OF sex trafficking
raise an army of abolitionists & create trafficking free zones across America
combat the demand, protect survivors, & hold our leaders accountable
An organization that fights against the dark reality of human trafficking does not simply rise from a vacuum. The onset of U.S. Institute Against Human Trafficking is unique because it was co-founded by Kevin Malone and Geoff Rogers–two men who had successfully risen up in corporate America who knew that they needed to step up and take responsibility if they were going to see a better society.
Co-Founder, Kevin Malone, named “The Best General Manager in the Game” in 1995, retired from professional baseball in 2001 after an illustrious 17 year career in which his teams earned a World Championship and several trips to the post-season. After years of getting involved with many charitable organizations with the philosophy of “seek justice, rescued the oppressed and defend the orphan”, the transition into fighting against human trafficking was only inevitable. Kevin and those who have rallied behind him view human trafficking as one of the greatest moral threats to American citizens and society because it opposes the very foundation that all men (and women) are created equal and should never be subjugated to be mere commodities for transactional sexual pleasure.
However, a public figure himself, Kevin is a passionate follower of Jesus Christ who understands the fragile and fickle minds of society and culture and the tightrope that influential people and brands must walk in order to maintain their level of notoriety. The U.S. Institute Against Human Trafficking was started to purposely position itself as non-partisan and independent of political and religious tethers so that many could be invited to the “table” and work together to bring about real change.
Kevin Malone brought into the U.S. Institute Against Human Trafficking the same ferver and problem solving skills that he utilized in his sports career. And just like his successful endeavours, the goal of USIAHT is to see real, tangible change occur in the United States. It was within this mission that the Trafficking Free Zone program and the Abolitionist program were created so that passionate businesses, organizations, and individuals could champion lasting change with the right tools and framework by which to invest time and resources.
In addition to their efforts to end human trafficking in the United States, Kevin Malone and USIAHT have also launched Kids Not For Sale–a targeted, “gloves off” approach to fight child sex trafficking in Las Vegas and Southern Nevada and set a precedent for the rest of the United States regarding the prevention of exploited children
