This Directory is a guide for agencies, individuals, and others who are possible contact points on human trafficking. This includes service providers, law enforcement, community groups, the faith community, and individuals who are seeking help for human trafficking survivors, who suspect human trafficking is occurring, or who wish to have more information about the topic. The list is maintained and updated by STAC but does not constitute any kind of endorsement of those listed here.
STAC would like to offer thanks to Club 25 for funding the creation of this Directory. We acknowledge and thank Terry Coonan and The Center for the Advancement of Human Rights (CAHR) at Florida State University, particularly Vania Aguilar and Daniela Donoso who were instrumental in the creation of this Directory and who provided ongoing guidance and support, including oversight, design, and creative work. We thank these CAHR interns for their work: Abby Sprinkle, Amelia Jacobs, Hector Lozada and Sierra Randolph, who completed the 2019 updates and Marcos Cabello, Rebecca Heidenberg, Holly Kuyper, Kristen Neville, Mariapia Rueda, Ana Seeger, and Victoria Urdaneta whose efforts created the first edition. We also thank Lauren Tobia and Ashley Gaffney for their work on the original Directory. To the Big Bend Coalition Against Human Trafficking (BBCAHT), we gratefully acknowledge your help and contributions as you were, and will remain, vital to the success of this Directory. And finally, we thank all the agencies, individuals, and organizations that participated and have contributed their time and information. STAC looks forward to the continued collaborations of all listed here. We hope that everyone in our community can understand how to recognize human trafficking and respond and that human trafficking survivors get the help they need. We hope that all who are at risk of being trafficked are helped to find other ways to make it in this world and we hope that that all traffickers are brought to justice.
