Sex trafficking exists because there is a receptive market of male buyers willing to purchase and exploit victims. If there are no buyers, there is no demand, and no demand means no victims. The EPIK Project through Cyber Patrol Partnerships is a collaborative effort to end the demand for commercial sex and human trafficking victims in Texas. One such program is located in Corpus Christi, Texas through New Life Refuge and the EPIK Project partnership.  

Cyber Patrols achieve three main objectives: gathering and providing real-time data on the online buyer landscape via a dashboard & chatbot, gathering local stakeholders to discuss combating demand, and establishing additional cyber patrols through which members of the community can fight the demand for sex trafficking in their city.
