Online Directory of Resources and Services for Victims
The National Human Trafficking Hotline hosts an online Referral Directory made up of anti-trafficking organizations and programs that offer emergency, transitional, or long-term services to victims and survivors of human trafficking.
DOWNLOAD, PRINT, AND POST!
Help spread awareness and provide life-saving information!
Simply download and print one or all of our posters below (in English and/or Spanish) and post them in your place of business, place of worship, etc. Posting them in the restroom provides potential victims the opportunity to see the information while away from their trafficker.
Once you post the flyers, please email us the name and location of your business, organization, or place of worship. You can also take a photo and tag us on social media. We want everyone to see that we ALL have a role to play and it’s as easy as posting a flyer! Thank you for joining the fight!
