"Cases of labor trafficking decreased by 2 percent,
indicating that the current climate of fear in immigrant and minority
communities is likely suppressing reports to the National Hotline.
Globally, as well as in the United States, experts believe labor
trafficking is far more widespread than sex trafficking.
Yet, the cases
reported to the National Hotline rarely reflect that. A total of 1,249
cases of labor trafficking were reported in 2018, compared to 1,276 in
2017.
This World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, as human
trafficking reports are on the rise but labor trafficking cases continue

trafficking comes in all forms, not just sex trafficking. It is time to
shift the narrative and help connect survivors of the 25 types of human trafficking to services and support."

We have put in a call to the Polaris Project to see about collaboration.
