Advancing Protection Through Research, Readiness & Collaboration
Complex problems are rarely solved by a single organization.
The most effective protection environments are built when practitioners, institutions, community leaders, nonprofits, researchers, law enforcement professionals, educators, healthcare providers, and operational stakeholders work from a shared understanding of risk, readiness, and coordinated action.
That belief sits at the core of the Sex Trafficking Center of Excellence™ (STCoE™).
CTT Global™ was established to help organizations move beyond fragmented approaches to exploitation and toward more structured, intelligence-informed, and operationally grounded protection capability.
We do not view partnership as a transaction.
We view it as a collaborative effort to strengthen the systems, environments, and institutions responsible for prevention, protection, intervention, and long-term resilience.
Why Organizations Partner With STCoE™
Organizations often engage the STCoE™ because they recognize that awareness alone is not enough.
They seek stronger frameworks.
More disciplined approaches to readiness.
Better operational understanding.
More effective coordination.
Greater confidence in their ability to identify risk, strengthen protective environments, and support those they serve.
Through research, field innovation, training, ecosystem analysis, and protection strategy development, we help organizations build capability that is practical, sustainable, and grounded in real-world conditions.
Who We Commonly Work With
The STCoE™ supports organizations operating across a wide range of protection environments, including:
• Survivor-serving organizations and shelters
