Polaris Project is a nonprofit organization based in Washington, DC, dedicated to combating human trafficking and supporting survivors. Through their National Human Trafficking Hotline, they provide direct assistance to victims and survivors, while also conducting research and intelligence gathering to better understand and address the issue. Polaris works to disrupt and prevent human trafficking by developing targeted strategies and advocating for policy changes at the systems level.
With a focus on debunking myths and raising awareness, Polaris aims to shed light on the realities of human trafficking, including the fact that it often involves psychological manipulation rather than physical force. They also emphasize the importance of addressing labor trafficking, which is more prevalent globally but often overshadowed by the focus on sex trafficking. By prioritizing survivor voices and pushing for survivor-centered policies, Polaris strives to create long-term solutions and empower those affected by human trafficking.
