Texas Sex Trafficking Obliteration Project
Texas Sex Trafficking Obliteration Project, led by Concerned Women For America and funded through Houston Rescue and Restore, aims to address the alarming rates of sex trafficking in Texas and globally. Highlighting statistics, such as 600,000-800,000 individuals trafficked annually and the average age of entry into prostitution being 11-14 years old, the project sheds light on the urgent need to combat human trafficking. Recognizing human trafficking as the second largest criminal industry globally, efforts focus on eliminating demand to prevent victimization. Houston is identified as a key hub for traffickers, emphasizing the importance of taking action to combat this issue.
