Report Human Trafficking
If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, please call 911.
Sex Trafficking
Human trafficking happens when a person is compelled to work or engage in commercial sex through the use of force, fraud, or coercion. If the person is under the age of 18 and having sex in exchange for anything of value, they are experiencing human trafficking; fraud, force, or coercion is not a requirement when the person is a child.
Labor Trafficking
Labor trafficking is the use of force, fraud, or coercion to compel a person to work or provide services against their will. It is a form of modern-day slavery that can trap victims in involuntary servitude, peonage, debt bondage, or other forced labor.
If you believe you may have information about a trafficking situation:
- Call 911
- Call the National Human Trafficking Hotline toll-free at 1-888-373-7888
- Text the National Human Trafficking Hotline at 233733 (Message and data rates may apply).
Report Child Exploitation
The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children manages the “CyberTipline” to report child sexual exploitation, including child sexual abuse material (also known as child pornography,” which may include illicit videos or pictures). You can submit a tip directly or by calling 1-800-THE-LOST (1-800-843-5678).
