Access trusted resources for trafficking support and educational awareness.
A curated collection of organizations, resources, and reporting tools dedicated to prevention, survivor support, and public education at both the local and national levels — from direct service providers and legal advocates to hotlines and awareness campaigns working to disrupt trafficking and support those impacted by it.
Building a national network of more than 20 organizations united in solidarity with survivors
Under construction. We’ve identified six nationally recognized anti-trafficking organizations providing credible education, prevention resources, and direct survivor support services nationwide. Our objective is to add up to five new resource links each week until we reach our initial goal of twenty carefully vetted educational resources.
The Blutterfly Effect
The Blutterfly Effect Project, an independent research-organizing project that turns publicly available Epstein-related records into structured Obsidian vaults. Obsidian is a note taking app with a graph view showing connections between notes. A vault is where the notes are kept. The project has been creating vaults with notes based on information related to the Jeffrey Epstein files. An Obsidian vault graph can help visualize and explore documented connections among people, entities, locations, dates, and source materials. https://acornbaden.substack.com/
Freedom Network USA
Freedom Network USA is the largest coalition working on human trafficking in the United States. Our network includes survivors, legal and social service providers, researchers, and expert consultants. We mobilize this collective strength to build a transformative approach to human trafficking that is grounded in anti-racism and anti-oppression. This approach informs our advocacy, training and technical assistance, and capacity-building efforts with members and allies. A coalition of organizations providing survivor-informed services and systemic advocacy across the country. https://freedomnetworkusa.org
Polaris Project
Founded in 2002, Polaris is named for the North Star, which people held in slavery in the United States used as a guide to navigate their way to freedom. Today they are filling in the roadmap for that journey and lighting the path ahead. Runs the National Human Trafficking Hotline, 24/7. Data-driven prevention programs nationwide. Poloris offers a free online introductory course to learn what human trafficking really is, how it happens, and how you can be part of the solution. https://polarisproject.org Call: 888-373-7888 Text: BeFree (233733)
RAINN
RAINN is the nation’s largest anti-sexual violence organization and operates the National Sexual Assault Hotline. Its mission is to end sexual violence by supporting survivors, pursuing perpetrator accountability, and fostering safer communities. The organization connects survivors with vital resources, local support services, and legal guidance, while also maintaining extensive statistical data on sexual assault. https://rainn.org Call: 800-656-HOPE Text: HOPE to 64673
The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children
The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children is the largest and most influential child protection organization in the country. Works to end human trafficking through training, technical assistance, and public awareness campaigns. As a private, nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation, we work with families, victims, law enforcement, child welfare, private industry and the public to provide free services to help find missing children, stop child sexual exploitation and prevent child victimization. This data serves as a record and a reminder of why NCMEC is more relevant than ever, and that this work cannot stop. https://www.missingkids.org/home Call: 800-843-5678
WomensLaw.org
WomensLaw.org was founded in Brooklyn, NY in February 2000 by Elizabeth Martin, with the help of a group of lawyers, teachers, advocates, and web designers who were interested in seeing the power of the Internet help survivors of domestic violence. In 2001, the WomensLaw.org website was launched to provide state-specific legal information and resources for survivors of domestic violence. Today, almost six million unique users visit the website annually, and WomensLaw.org provides referrals and information to more than 4,000 individuals through the Email Hotline. https://www.womenslaw.org
Review Our Sources to Verify Every Claim.
Every resource we provide is carefully reviewed and verified to ensure accuracy, reliability, and the highest standard of quality. While we strive to keep all external links current, occasional updates may be needed. We remain committed to maintaining rigorous quality assurance across all resources and references we share. Our goal is to handle the research so you can move forward with confidence.
How do you verify the resources you share?
We check each organization's legal status, funding sources, and track record. We look for survivor-centered practices and transparent reporting. If something doesn't hold up, we don't list it.
Are these organizations actually legitimate?
Yes. We prioritize established nonprofits and government bodies with a documented history of anti-trafficking work. We also confirm their programs are active and their helplines are staffed before recommending them.
How do I know a resource is survivor-centered?
Survivor-centered organizations involve survivors in leadership and program design. They prioritize safety, confidentiality, and informed consent. We flag red flags like punitive approaches or a lack of privacy policies.
Can I trust the information on these websites?
We review the content for accuracy and cite reputable sources. We also check that the material is up to date, since the landscape of trafficking and services changes constantly.
What if you don't have a resource I need?
Call 512-402-2869. We keep an active network of contacts across Texas and can point you to vetted services even if they're not on this page.
Still have questions?
We usually respond within one business day. Ask us about any resource you're unsure about.
Where do I find legal help that puts survivors first?
Most trafficking cases never reach a courtroom. Survivor-centered legal aid changes that. At Politi Law PLLC in Austin, we connect you with civil advocacy pathways that treat you as the expert in your own case. From building evidence to navigating claims against traffickers and the institutions that enabled them, every strategy is shaped around what you need to feel heard, informed, and in control. Our goal is simple: help you move toward real judicial justice without reliving the harm to get there.
