Raise Awareness About How to Report Human Trafficking to 1-888-3737-888

Cases of human trafficking have been reported in all 50 states and in a variety of environments, including: legal and illegal settings; cities, suburbs, and rural areas; and wealthy and low income areas. Often, community members come across labor and sex trafficking situations in their day-to-day routines.

Raising public awareness about how to recognize and report a potential trafficking case to the National Human Trafficking Resource Center (NHTRC) Hotline is essential. Most victims do not self-identify as victims or are not aware that help is available. By taking action and calling the NHTRC Hotline – and encouraging others to do so - you can provide crucial information about a trafficking case. As a result, more victims will receive help.

What is the National Human Trafficking Resource Center (NHTRC) Hotline?

The NHTRC Hotline is a 24-hour, 7 day a week, toll-free hotline.  The Hotline number is 1-888-3737-888.

NHTRC Call Specialists can connect victims with law enforcement and social service providers in their local area who can help them get out of exploitative situations and into safe environments where they have access to services, such as emotional support, health care, and legal services.
