What it says it does
The Phoenix Alliance (TPA) fights against human trafficking by focusing our efforts in the areas of prevention, intervention, advocacy, and after care. We use a variety of methods to educate communities and individuals against the dangers of sex trafficking. We identify victims through referrals, through response to our trafficking safety curriculum, and through our investment in youth within the juvenile justice system. In the USA we have ongoing work in North Carolina and Indiana. Overseas, we are partnering with a shelter home in northern Thailand.
