January is Human Trafficking Prevention and Awareness Month. This year, we are continuing our focus on the issue of "demand." The reality is—trafficking is a supply-and-demand issue. If our society didn’t condone buying people for sex, then there would be no incentive for traffickers to sell people for sex. Here are some simple, powerful opportunities for you to take your place in this fight and say "I'm not buying it," with us this month. 💙 https://lnkd.in/g5s3jf22

Freeing youth from sex trafficking through building trust-based relationships.
About us
Traffick911 exists to free youth from sex trafficking through trust-based relationships. This is accomplished by a 24/7 crisis response team, advocates, and community volunteer mentors walking alongside child sex trafficking victims and with community multi-disciplinary team partners. The field-based team responds to law enforcement when a victim is recovered and dispatches to their location within 60 minutes. Highly-trained advocates work to establish felt safety, meet material needs, and implement safety plans. Advocates work with survivors into adulthood for long-term healing and protection from re-victimization through trauma-informed case management, goal-planning, and connection to safe community relationships, including mentors. Traffick911 was named the 2017 Nonprofit of the Year by the Junior League of Collin County and 2013 Outstanding Organization of the Year by the Fort Worth Commission for Women with commendations by the Fort Worth City Council, mayor and a State Senator. We have also been recognized by Homeland Security Investigations as a most-valued partner in this battle to save our children from sexual slavery. In 2017, Traffick911 was selected by the Office of the Governor in Texas to provide direct services including crisis response, case management/advocacy, and mentorship to child sex trafficking victims in North Texas as a part of a regional multi-disciplinary team in North Texas Counties. As a part of Traffick911's Voice & Choice survivor empowerment program, first responders are able to call Traffick911 for 24-hour crisis response to begin relational advocacy services with the survivor and support them on their journey to healing. The Traffick911 team has identified and served over 1,700 victims and their work - in close partnership with law enforcement - has led to multiple state and federal felony arrests and convictions.

It’s always an act of the will to take moments away from the urgent crises to stop and enjoy the now. This Christmas season, our staff paused to make stockings in our favorite Christmas pajamas one week, exchanged white elephant gifts another week, and enjoyed a Christmas brunch where we dressed up as a Christmas song/movie and gave out espy awards. Bonus points if you can you tell what our Executive Director dressed up as! We consider it the deepest honor to learn to hold the tension between joy and sorrow, gratitude and grief, hope and loss, happiness and suffering this Christmas season. ❤️

Every year, we support a growing number of youth facing complex needs, challenging family dynamics, and systemic barriers. Our capacity to serve every child trafficking survivor in North Texas is a direct result of your generosity. We can’t do it alone. We are trying to raise $100,000 by December 31st to secure the resources needed to continue supporting each young survivor in 2025. When you support Traffick911 with a year-end gift, you bring hope to trafficked kids by providing them with a support person and life-saving resources. Make a special year-end gift today. ⭐️ https://lnkd.in/g7wdAdMA

We are seeing a growing need to support the survivors we serve with intense legal-related services. As such, we'd like to thank the Texas Bar Foundation for awarding Traffick911 a grant for this very thing - for a third year in a row. This grant will allow Traffick911 to secure specialized legal services and cover legal fees for survivors of child sex trafficking and their families as needs emerge throughout the year. Thank you!
