Texas Human Trafficking Coordinating Council

For the last day of #HumanTraffickingPreventionMonth, we’re highlighting efforts to help survivors of trafficking. Thank you to the Office of @GovAbbott for supporting this important work through the 2022 Connecting Human Trafficking Victims to Services Grant. #txlege @TXHTPCC

Texans wear blue to spread human trafficking awareness. #texansarenotforsale #endtraffickingintx #WearBlueDay

Art and writing contest to raise awareness about the realities of human trafficking: All high school students in the state of Texas are encouraged to submit an original work in creative writing, poetry, drawing, painting, or photography. Submissions must be received by January 31

Welcome Human Trafficking Awareness Month.  Here is a sign designed to be posted in commercial establishments, including restaurants, massage industries, transportation hubs, etc.  When you see the sign at a business near you, use #TexansAreNotForSale and tag us @TXHTPTF.

It’s a myth that #HumanTrafficking is only sex trafficking. Forced labor and domestic servitude are two other forms of trafficking. Learn more about this crime: bit.ly/3rkZY8h

Internet Safety Month makes for a great time to prioritize safe online habits for our students and children. Keeping kids safe from online predators is a great way to prevent human trafficking. #endhumantrafficking #NCOSE #Default2Safety #texansarenotforsale

Migrants and other refugees that are forced to flee their homeland are at greater risk for human trafficking. We join our partners around the globe to recognize World Refugee Day on June 20, 2021. Get involved in the conversations here: rstx.org/what-we-do/

Thank you to Allison Franklin for sharing your story! TABC was recognized with a Communicator Award of Distinction for this video used in trainings and education. Together, Texans can fight trafficking and support survivors. @TXHTPCC #txlege Watch: bit.ly/3eZLipn

May is Mental Health Awareness Month! The TXHTPCC supports trauma-informed care for victims and survivors of human trafficking for effective recovery. #breakthestigma #MHAM #Notalone

“This case sends a strong message to those who benefit from the exploitation of vulnerable women. To those criminal organizations that engage in human trafficking, whether international or domestic, we will combine forces... to find you, arrest you and bring you to justice.”

And that's a wrap for #NCVRW2021! We are inspired by our partners in this fight all around the state. Victims deserve to be acknowledged, supported, and honored this week and every week.

Our support of #HumanTrafficking survivors is crucial for their recovery and stopping these crimes. In 2019, #txlege made fighting trafficking a @TexasABC priority. We'll continue working with @TXHTPCC to protect Texans and support victims. #NCVRW2021 #TexansAreNotForSale

Yesterday's TXHTPCC Lunch & Learn was a huge success! The roundtable discussion was transparent, informative, and inspirational - thank you to these survivors and overcomers. @alliefranklin17 @F4ischer, @DeliverFund, and Karla Solomon

How do Human Trafficking victims inspire you? Let us know by sharing your video this week in honor of National Crime Victims’ Rights Week. #NCVRW2021 #TexansAreNotForSale

The TXHTPCC is proud to present the Human Trafficking Survivor Panel on April 20th at noon. Each year during National Crime Victims' Week, we can honor our commitment to trafficking victims and learn from them as we move forward to eradicate human trafficking in Texas.

Pinwheels represent the fight against child abuse. This month is #ChildAbusePreventionMonth - we must all do our part to protect the most vulnerable among us.

HTTOC celebrates Teal Tuesday to raise awareness about sexual violence in Texas. Thanks @TAASA for championing this issue! #TurnTexasTeal #SAAPM2021

April is both Sexual Assault Awareness and Child Abuse Prevention Month. These two crimes can overlap with human trafficking as traffickers use sexual violence to assert control over women, men, and children victims. #wearteal on April 6th to spread awareness and support victims!
