Where to Start

Understanding the Problem

Prevention starts with an accurate picture of how trafficking actually works — who is targeted, how recruitment happens, and what the warning signs look like before harm is done.

National Organizations

The organizations doing the research, the reporting, and the direct work nationwide.

National Human Trafficking Hotline Round-the-clock help, referrals, and reporting, plus state-by-state statistics and training materials. Polaris Project Research, data, and policy work on how trafficking operates in the United States. National Center for Missing & Exploited Children Reporting, family support, and prevention education — including the CyberTipline. DHS Blue Campaign Homeland Security’s public awareness programme: indicator cards, posters, and training for the public. Shared Hope International Prevention, restoration, and state-by-state policy grading focused on domestic minor sex trafficking. U.S. State Department — Trafficking in Persons The annual Trafficking in Persons report and the international picture behind it.

Protecting Children Online

Recruitment increasingly begins on a screen. These are the practical tools for parents, teachers, and youth workers.

NCMEC CyberTipline Report online child sexual exploitation, enticement, or the sale of a child. NetSmartz NCMEC’s online safety programme — videos and lessons for children, parents, and educators. Thorn Technology built to defend children from sexual abuse, plus parent guides on the apps kids actually use. Enough Abuse Community-led child sexual abuse prevention: warning signs, boundaries, and how to talk to children.

Know Something We Should List?

Help Us Build This Library

This page grows as our speakers, sponsors, and partner organizations share their materials. If you run a programme, publish research, or have a resource that belongs here, we would like to hear about it.

A note on linking: the organizations listed above are independent of Rescuing Our Children, and we link to them because their work is useful — not as an endorsement of everything they publish.
