WHAT IS HUMAN TRAFFICKING?
Human trafficking involves the use of force, fraud, or coercion to obtain some type of labor or commercial sex act. Every year, millions of men, women, and children are trafficked worldwide – including right here in the United States.
C7 Human Trafficking Coalition is a collaboration of over 40 nonprofits, ministries, social service organizations, healthcare providers, mental health professionals, government agencies, first responders, and community leaders. Together we work to combat human trafficking by bringing awareness, education, training, and victim services to the North Texas region.
C7HTC members offer direct services to individuals, families, schools, businesses, and communities to help them establish human trafficking prevention strategies, identify and advocate for victims, and provide recovery services for survivors. Our members work throughout Denton, Cooke, Collin, Grayson, Dallas, Tarrant, and Wise counties.
C7 Human Trafficking Coalition is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization.
