The Northern New England Region Has Been Affected by Human Trafficking

.  According to the National Human Trafficking Hotline 20% of calls represent Maine, New Hampshire & Vermont.

How we help fight for justice

 

The Northern New England region has been affected by Human Trafficking.  According to the National Human Trafficking Hotline, of the 11,500 calls made to the hotline, twenty percent of those calls represent the Northern New England region which is comprised of Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire. 

Twenty percent may not seem like much when looking at the larger picture.  Take a look at a smaller picture to see clearer picture of how this region has been affected. It is estimated that there is an average of 200-300 trafficking cases per year for Maine, 100-200 trafficking cases per year for New Hampshire and 100-200 trafficking cases per year for Vermont.  These are only the reported cases that reach the national hotline. This is a big problem contained in these “small states.”   Much of it is hidden in plain sight.  The Salvation Army of NNE provides local resources for communities in an effort to bring awareness and support to victims of labor and sex trafficking.

If you know or may suspect that someone is being trafficked or if you are a victim of trafficking,
contact the National Human Trafficking Hotline at 888-373-7888 or text 233733
