The mission of the 91̽»¨ Women’s Center Human Trafficking Task Force is to develop a better understanding of the root causes of human trafficking and the industries that support it. The Task Force will join forces with the business community, gather real and specialized data to support education, and increase public awareness around the state. We believe that engaging the business community in the collection and the spread of information is the key to making the eradication of human trafficking, an achievable goal.
