ABOUT US
​
The Paso del Norte Center of Hope exists to protect victims of human trafficking and modern-day slavery and to lead anti-trafficking efforts within the Region through outreach, education, and person-centered services
​
We partner with our clients to offer survivor centered services and a supportive environment for them to work towards accomplishing their goals. We partner with the El Paso community to educate, train, and raise awareness about human-trafficking and how we can work together to stop it.
THE ISSUE
Worldwide, human trafficking is a $150 billion industry. In every country and city, men, women, and children are being exploited for forced labor and commercial sex. Unfortunately, this crime continues around us, largely unnoticed.
​
But it's not just happening in other parts of the world, it's happening in the United States, and in El Paso.
​
The effects of this crime are far-reaching, not only affecting the emotional and physical well being of human trafficking victims, but of the community as well.

Please contact us for more information or if you would like to refer a client.
