The purpose of the SFHTTF is to identify and protect survivors of human trafficking, prosecute traffickers and educate communities across South Florida about the impacts human trafficking has on the community.

Yet in 2021, over 30 years later, torture continues to permeate societies around the world, despite torture being an international crime.
