Anti-Child Trafficking (ACT)/Child Exploitation
Youth who have been affected by trafficking in foster care need CASA volunteers who are well-trained, connected and prepared to support their specialized needs. CASA ACT is a call to action for the CASA network in Texas. The aim is to do more than “see something, say something,” and to educate, protect and provide skilled support when youth have been exploited.

What is CASA ACT?
Texas holds the unenviable position of ranking second in the nation for incoming tips on child sex trafficking. These statistics are not mere numbers; they represent lives in jeopardy, futures uncertain and innocence at risk. To battle this trajectory, Texas CASA is taking proactive steps with the CASA Anti-Child Trafficking framework. Bearing the acronym ACT, this initiative is designed to instill a call to action to “see something, say something,” and crucially, do something — to ACT.
