Innovations HTC
Our mission is to engage first responders, tribes, and other stakeholders in eliminating human trafficking through solution-based knowledge and trauma-informed strategies, and to empower survivors to heal and build self-sufficient, affirming lives.
This year’s theme focuses on a holistic approach to prevent trafficking by recognizing its connections to other forms of violence and abuse, such as labor exploitation, online harassment and abuse, and interpersonal violence.
By understanding factors such as economic mobility, the desire for connection, technology, and market dynamics, we can identify and disrupt recruitment schemes while reducing vulnerabilities.
This month calls for collective action to strengthen prevention at every level: individual, relational, community and societal. By addressing root causes, strengthening relationships, and fostering collaboration across sectors, we can prevent exploitation before it begins.
We have moved to a new location.
We are located at:
4317 6th Ave SE, Suite 101, Lacey, WA 98503
