Texas ranks second in the nation for the highest number of sex trafficking victims, and Dallas ranks second in the state. This illegal sex trade generates $99 million a year for traffickers, and the average age a girl is trafficked in the United States is between 13 and 15 years old.
New Friends New Life serves women and teen girls who have been trafficked or sexually exploited (i.e., forced into prostitution, brothels, clubs, or pornography). NFNL addresses the problem of sex trafficking in Dallas by stepping in to ensure survivors of trafficking and exploitation have the mental, tangible, and economic tools necessary to escape the sex trade for good, as well as advocating for policy change and education to bring awareness to trafficking and aid prevention efforts. In 2024, NFNL served 342 women and girls.

At New Friends New Life, we know that the work we do every day to restore and empower survivors exists against a crippling social backdrop of hatred, discrimination, and socioeconomic inequality. We cannot separate the acute trauma from this chronic trauma that has existed for generations. In order to break through these barriers, we must acknowledge, support, and hold space for those who are directly affected by these ills - beginning with our staff (64% of whom are women of color), the members we serve (69% women of color) and our diverse Board of Directors.
