Hope and Healing
|
|
A victim of sex trafficking reported her trafficking situation to the U.S. National Human Trafficking Hotline from her hotel room. Because the support she needed was available when she needed it, her trafficker now faces life in prison. And she is free.
You have the power to make wins like this possible every day, by getting more involved with the fight to stop human trafficking.
The care and generosity from our social justice community powers the Trafficking Hotline to respond to calls, texts, webchats and more from victims and survivors in situation just like this, 24/7.

War – and the fear, displacement, poverty, and misery it brings – create the perfect environment for traffickers to exploit vulnerable people.
We've put together a resource guide for victims and survivors of conflicts in Ukraine and Afghanistan.
Take a look at what Polaris supporters are making possible for people in need.
