AUSTIN — First Lady of Texas Cecilia Abbott has partnered with state agencies including the Texas Department of Transportation this month to raise awareness about human trafficking and help Texans learn how to combat the crime.
Victims of human trafficking come from across society, regardless of race, gender, socioeconomic status or hometown. Tackling the issue takes a variety of state agencies working together to raise awareness and provide educational opportunities on how to spot the signs and how to report trafficking activity.
“It is crucial that the State of Texas collaborates to raise awareness, increase our vigilance, and report signs of this horrendous crime,” said First Lady Abbott. “These victims are not invisible when we learn to look for the signs of suspected abuse, exploitation, and trafficking. Working together, we can all help to end this injustice.”
