Meeting the needs of the most vulnerable through a collaborative effort among community partners.
Meeting the needs of the most vulnerable through a collaborative effort among community partners.
When a trafficking victim is rescued, they often need immediate resources and support. While many organizations, churches, and businesses have these resources, the challenge lies in efficiently connecting those in need with those who can help.
The Bridging The Gap Human Trafficking (BTGHT) mobile app was created to close this gap by instantly communicating victims’ needs to organizations equipped to assist.
Our mission is to expand the BTGHT mobile app across the U.S. to support survivors of sexual exploitation and other vulnerable populations. The app is currently partnered with NW Oregon, Arizona, North Texas (Ft. Worth/Dallas), New England, and the Kansas City Metro area.
If you are interested in learning more about the BTGHT app or how to get your region onboard, we’d love to hear from you.
What We Do
Implement the BTGHT App
Our real-time communication tool links law enforcement, advocates, and trusted community partners to help meet the needs of sexually exploited survivors. By closing communication gaps, we ensure help arrives faster and more efficiently.
Instant victim support coordination
Seamless connection between responders & resources
Available when survivors need it most
Training
Law enforcement and hotels often have interaction with survivors on a daily basis. We provide training to help organizations identify trafficking victims and how to provide a trauma informed response.
We’d love to provide training to your agency.
Raising Awareness
We believe that raising awareness is the key to preventing human trafficking and identifying potential victims. From 2019 to 2023, BTG partnered with Clackamas Community College to film and produce the documentary Human Trafficking: Portland, OR, shedding light on this critical issue.
If your church or organization is interested in hosting a screening, we would be honored to provide resources to facilitate meaningful discussions and action.
