HTI creates upstream solutions with outsized impact. Many anti-trafficking efforts focus on awareness or caring for survivors. These are essential, but if we don’t invest in stopping the traffickers, then they will go on to exploit more victims who need more care - resulting in an endless cycle. By stopping traffickers, we not only free current victims, but prevent countless others from ever experiencing the horrors of trafficking in the first place.

The Human Trafficking Institute is on a mission to decimate trafficking by stopping traffickers. We believe that true justice starts with equipping justice systems with the necessary tools, training, and tactical case support to stop traffickers in their tracks. This strategy results in more traffickers being arrested and put out of business and more victims being freed through law enforcement operations.

To every survivor and current victim of human trafficking: you are not alone, and your journey to freedom is our shared mission. At the Human Trafficking Institute, we are dedicated to fighting for justice and creating a safer world for you every single day. We are working tirelessly to turn the fear dynamic upside down - creating a world where traffickers are afraid and their victims are emboldened. Your resilience inspires us, and we are committed to seeing you live in a world where freedom and dignity prevail. #Survivors #Trafficking #Hope #Freedom #HumanTrafficking #HTI

Many traffickers are only willing to engage in their crime if there is no meaningful cost in doing so. But when law enforcement teams impose serious costs on traffickers, seizing profits and sending them to jail, trafficking begins to collapse as traffickers decide the risk isn’t worth it. #Justice #StopTraffickers #HTI #Training

“We believe trafficking is another battle that is witnessing the birth of tangible hope in a fight that seemed hopeless. With your help, hope is rising! We know that every trafficker stopped represents freedom not only for their victims, but also for a stream of future victims who will never endure that nightmare in the first place. That’s why we’re eager to extend that life-changing hope deeper into the battlefield, and, as you’ll read in the following pages, this year we have extended that hope deeper than ever before.” - Victor Boutros, CEO of Human Trafficking Institute To learn more about that hope, check out our annual report here: https://lnkd.in/exzef5p5 #Hope #DecimateTrafficking #HTI #AnnualReport

Traffickers in positions of trust exploit their unique ability to recognize and leverage a victim's vulnerabilities. The Federal Human Trafficking Report tracks defendants in roles such as religious leaders, medical practitioners, teachers, law enforcement, lawyers, and politicians. One such case is Michael Zacharias, a Catholic priest who used his trusted role to form relationships with three young male victims. He exploited their substance addictions, coercing them into performing commercial sex acts in exchange for drugs. In May 2023, Zacharias was found guilty of five counts of sex trafficking of a minor and sentenced to life in prison. His appeal was pending at the end of 2023.
