Influenced by a class speaker in college, Dottie Laster began her work in anti-human trafficking on a global scale. While studying in Paris and Budapest she was directly confronted with the plight of individuals in war torn countries who were being sold into modern slavery.
Laster was appointed an original member of the U.S. Attorney’s Human Trafficking Rescue Alliance, a human trafficking task
force that was commended for its results. As part of this task force, she was selected by the US Attorney’s Office to be certified by the Department of Justice, where she conducted training of over 5,000 police officers and worked directly with adult and child victims of trafficking.
Laster is the co-founder of the San Antonio, Texas Coalition Against Human Trafficking and the past Administrator of the Orange County, California Human Trafficking Task Force and has successfully written millions in grants to assist children and victims of human trafficking.

Laster has served as technical advisor and/or producer of TV and movie projects for all major networks, and several motion picture production companies, and has worked with noted celebrities to raise funds and awareness about the issue of human trafficking.
