## Resource

Houston’s stepping up to fight human trafficking during the FIFA World Cup, joining forces with nonprofit No Trafficking Zone — and Dallas is in on it too. This nationwide effort creates safe zones and raises awareness, because big events like the World Cup can lure traffickers. No Trafficking Zone, active since 2020, partners with law enforcement to stop trafficking in real time and dismantle networks — already operating in places like NRG Park. A survivor, trafficked at 17 and freed after nearly four years, now leads survivor initiatives, reminding everyone why this mission matters. Houston PD is deploying officers around the clock, and new laws are being pushed to lock traffickers up for life on first-degree felony charges. Advocates want these protections to last beyond the tournament — and they’re urging the public to stay vigilant and report suspicious activity.
