Stop Trafficking By Stopping Traffickers
Join the global fight against human trafficking by supporting proven, targeted enforcement strategies to end trafficking at its root – the trafficker. Your actions today will have an out-sized impact for years to come.
Impact Summary
Our approach to combating trafficking fills a gap in the global anti-trafficking response by stopping traffickers in their tracks.
In places with little or no enforcement, traffickers operate without consequence. We are changing that—making traffickers afraid and empowering victims.
When traffickers are arrested and charged, their current victims are not only freed, but countless other victims are spared. When enforcement goes up, prevalence of trafficking goes down.

HTI’s Unique Approach
Many anti-trafficking efforts focus on reducing the vulnerability of potential victims or caring for survivors. These are essential, but if we don’t also stop the traffickers, then we remain trapped in an endless cycle of devastation where more traffickers exploit more victims who require more care.
HTI is moving upstream to cut off trafficking at its source: the traffickers themselves. By stopping traffickers, we not only free current victims but also prevent countless others from ever experiencing the horrors of trafficking.
