Light the Way to End Human Trafficking Award

Since 2019, DFPS has recognized individuals for their outstanding contributions to the advancement of human rights and anti-trafficking initiatives in Texas. The award is symbolized by a crystal star. Human trafficking is a dark issue and stellar work in the fight against human trafficking shines bright like a star in a dark sky. The darker the night, the brighter the star shines.
