They were gathered from international, federal and state government agencies and organizations, as well as from private non-profit organizations, that deal with human trafficking.
These resources are intended to provide general information and guidance for victims services providers. Your organization may have more specific procedures for dealing with human trafficking.
This page includes links to various websites and documents which may be useful to those involved in identifying, investigating, and prosecuting human trafficking and serving victims.
