HTI's mission began when Co-Founder, Victor Boutros, heard the powerful story of a young girl.  After hearing her story, Victor altered his life to take on the daunting task of decimating modern day slavery.

“When you’re in this divided soul experience, where there’s a part of you experiencing this incredible sense of moral urgency, there’s this other part of you that is experiencing this powerful sense of overwhelm and peril, paralysis and the sense of powerlessness.

- Victor Boutros, CEO of Human Trafficking Institute

In a recent article by Natalie Posgate, The Texas Lawbook highlights the journey of Victor Boutros and the Human Trafficking Institute. The article tells of the moments leading up to HTI's inception as well as the critical work that must continue, to stop traffickers in their tracks.

Propelled by the mission of bringing tangible hope to victims around the globe, Victor and HTI will continue to combat human trafficking, every day.
