About this organization
Mission
Named after the North Star, an historical symbol of freedom, Polaris works to reshape the systems that make sex and labor trafficking possible and profitable in North America. For more than a decade, Polaris has assisted thousands of victims and survivors through the U.S. national human trafficking hotline and built the largest known U.S. data set on the crime. With the guidance of survivors, and working with public and private-sector partners, we use that data to understand and improve the way trafficking is identified, how victims and survivors are assisted, and how we can prevent this abuse at the scale of the problem - 25 million people worldwide robbed of the basic right to choose how they live and work.
About
National hotline: In 2017, Polaris Project continued to operate the national human trafficking hotline (NHTH), with funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office on Trafficking in Persons (OTIP). The national hotline improves the national response to protect victims of trafficking by connecting victims with a range of comprehensive services in the United States, and equips stakeholders with the most comprehensive tools and approaches necessary to enhance community networking, coordination, and response. In addition to operating the NHTH, Polaris Project receives tips and communicates with victims through a texting service, and fields calls from outside the U.S.
