Gina Cavallo is a sought-after leader, speaker, and consultant in the anti-human trafficking movement and a passionate advocate for victims of human trafficking.

Her commitment stems from her experience as a survivor of childhood sexual and physical abuse and of human trafficking. It is also rooted in her determination to ensure that no one else should endure the same trauma. Gina’s impact can be found throughout the New Jersey legislative process, within organizations that support human trafficking causes, and in the personal stories of the survivors who have been inspired by Gina’s story.
