Have you ever engaged in sexual activity in exchange for money, a place to sleep, food, drugs, alcohol, or in exchange for anything else?
If yes, the National Human Trafficking Resource Center (NHTRC) can help you.
They give free, confidential, one-on-one support. You can call if you need someone to talk to, if you are in an emergency, or if you need any other help. For example, the hotline can connect you with agencies that can get you shelter, counseling, legal services, and other help.
You can also call the hotline if you are worried about a friend, family member, or anyone else who may be involved in “the life” or is receiving money, shelter, drugs, or anything else in exchange for sex.
