Get involved
There's more than one way to fight trafficking.
Trafficking depends on people not noticing and not acting. Every way of helping below makes that harder, whether you have five minutes or five hours a week.
Step one
Learn the signs.
There is no single profile of a trafficking victim, but some signs come up again and again. One sign alone doesn't prove anything. Several together are worth reporting.
- Someone else holds their ID, passport or money
- They seem coached on what to say, or someone always speaks for them
- They aren't free to come and go, or are watched closely
- They owe a debt they can never seem to pay off
- They show fear, anxiety, signs of injury, or don't know where they are
If you see something
Don't confront anyone or try to intervene yourself. That can put the victim and you in danger.
- If someone is in immediate danger, call 911.
- Otherwise, contact the National Human Trafficking Hotline: call 1-888-373-7888 or text 233733. It is confidential and available 24/7.
- Note what you saw: when, where, and descriptions of people and vehicles.
