HHSC Observes Human Trafficking Prevention Month

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission is highlighting services and programs dedicated to the fight against human trafficking. Gov. Greg Abbott proclaimed January 2026 as Human Trafficking Prevention Month in Texas.

Human trafficking is a crime that involves sexual exploitation or forced labor. It can happen to anyone, regardless of age, sex or background.

“Human trafficking undermines our rule of law, robbing millions of their freedom and threatening public security,” Gov. Abbott stated in the proclamation. “It is our collective duty to take action to prevent and end human trafficking once and for all.”
