All Time Statistics: 2007-2024
Since 2007, Polaris has operated the U.S. National Human Trafficking Hotline, providing 24/7 support and a variety of options for survivors of human trafficking to get connected to help and stay safe. Through a network of nearly 4,000 partner service providers, trained hotline specialists take information of suspected situations of human trafficking from community members and help survivors build plans so they can safely leave their situations or get the help they need to rebuild their lives.
National Human Trafficking Hotline: In the News
The National Human Trafficking Hotline is proud to have played a role in bringing traffickers to justice and supporting victims.
Read about some of the situations we’ve assisted with:
*** Whenever possible, the Hotline endeavors to speak directly with victims to discuss the various reporting and referral options and receive explicit consent to make a report on their behalf. Consent from a victim and the safety of any individuals involved are the most important factors the Hotline considers when weighing whether or not to make a report. When third-party callers provide information about a trafficking victim and their situation, the Hotline takes a similar victim-centered and trauma-informed approach. ***
The National Human Trafficking Hotline is supported by the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) of the United States (U.S.) Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as part of a financial assistance award totaling $6 million with 92% funded by ACF/HHS and $0.5 million and 8% funded by non-government source(s).
