THE PROBLEM

A community response often follows this path:

AWARENESS
GROWS

The community becomes aware of the impact of human trafficking and begins working diligently to combat it and prevent it.

NEW PROGRAMS AND SERVICES ARE CREATED

Those already serving vulnerable populations expand their services. Many new efforts and entities are created to join the cause.

EFFORTS BECOME
UNCOORDINATED

With the increase of activity, the challenge quickly becomes keeping up with all the existing efforts and effectively identifying gaps that still need to be filled.

PROGRESS
SLOWS

At best, this reality leads to slow progress on behalf of those in very great need, and at worst, it leads to conflict, duplicity, and a stalemate of impact.
