U.S. National Human Trafficking Hotline
Since 2007, Polaris has operated the U.S. National Human Trafficking Hotline, which provides 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 advocates take tips of suspected 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. The Trafficking Hotline can communicate via phone in more than 200 languages, as well as text, webchat, email, and webform in English and Spanish.

Mexican National Human Trafficking Hotline
Polaris worked with a respected Mexican nonprofit, Consejo Ciudadano, to launch that country’s first national human trafficking hotline. The Hotline is now up and running, responding to incoming tips and requests for help with a victim-centered, trauma-informed approach 24/7. Polaris continues to support Consejo through consulting on best practices, national networks connections and by collaborating on cases that cross the U.S.-Mexico Border.
