National Human Trafficking Hotline

If you or someone you know is being forced or tricked into work or sex, you can call, text or chat to get support. You can also report a tip or find local services.

Good to know

TTY users can dial 711. The site has a Quick Exit button for when someone may be watching your screen.

Before you call

They can

  • answer live, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in more than 200 languages, on 1-888-373-7888
  • talk with you by live chat, take a tip online or by email (help@humantraffickinghotline.org), and take TTY calls on 711
  • take text messages on 233733

They cannot

  • replace 911: the Contact page says to contact 911 if you are in immediate danger

We list this organization because people told us it helped. We’re not affiliated with it, and we don’t speak for it. Last checked October 3, 2026: we opened its own site and confirmed this link and number. We don’t call the lines, and hours can change — their site has the latest.
