  Question
 

What is the Human Trafficking Information and Referral Hotline?

  Answer
 

The Human Trafficking Information and Referral Hotline (1.888.3737.888) is a crisis hotline – operated by Covenant House – and set up to provide information and resources to victims of trafficking and those who know of potential victims.  The Hotline will help you determine if you or someone you are calling about has been trafficked.  It can identify local resources available in your community to help victims, and will help you coordinate with local social service organizations to help protect and serve victims so they can begin the process of restoring their lives.  A caller can also request a referral to law enforcement agencies that can help victims reach safety and arrest and prosecute traffickers.

Anyone with an emergency situation is urged to immediately call 911.  However, if it receives an emergency call, the Hotline has nationwide 911 capability in order to patch the caller into necessary services.
