Join the Fight Against Human Trafficking

Millions are trapped. Together, we can help free them.

40.3 million people are enslaved today. In Texas alone, an estimated 79,000 children are victims of sex trafficking. Trafficking generates over $150 billion in illegal profit annually, making it the fastest-growing crime in the world.

But we can make a difference. Every dollar you give supports our mission to locate, recover, equip, and connect resources to fight human trafficking. With your help, we can save lives and restore freedom.

Four Ways to Support Our Cause

  • FUND

    Provide the financial support to help bring justice. Donate one time, monthly, or annually to support our recovery teams, knowing that 100% of all funds donated go directly to supporting rescues, not overhead.

 FAQs

  • Our experience is 80% of these children come from the foster care system. Children without family ties are easier targets for trafficking. The other 20% come from all socioeconomic situations. The commonality in all of these stories is broken relationships that start at home.


    • Online – there are websites that traffickers use to sell women, children and some men by the hour.

    • Street – traffickers force their victims to walk a track and prostitute themselves.

    • Club – traffickers sell their victims in strip clubs.

    • A history of sexual and/or physical abuse

    • Community or family instability and dislocation

    • Child welfare involvement, especially out-of-home foster care placement

    • Being a runaway or homeless youth

    • Disconnection from the education system and being off-track for achievement

    • Poverty

  • People in trafficking situations stay for reasons that are more complicated than this. Some lack the basic necessities to physically get out – such as transportation or a safe place to live. Some are afraid for their safety. Some have been so effectively manipulated that they do not identify at that point as being under the control of another person.

  • Every trafficking situation is unique and self-identification as a trafficking victim or survivor happens along a continuum. Fear, isolation, guilt, shame, misplaced loyalty and expert manipulation are among the many factors that may keep a person from seeking help or identifying as a victim even if they are, in fact, being actively trafficked.


  • The following estimates are based on prosecuted cases, and are not necessarily representative of all trafficking cases, but they are telling.

    • 83% of active 2020 sex trafficking cases involved online solicitation, which is overwhelmingly the most common tactic traffickers use to solicit sex buyers.

    • 59% of online victim recruitment in active sex trafficking cases occurred on Facebook.

    • 65% of underage victims recruited online in 2020 active criminal sex trafficking cases were recruited through Facebook, while 14% were recruited through Instagram, and 8% were recruited through Snapchat.
