List of Global Human Trafficking Hotlines

United States Human Trafficking Hotline Website: Not just a phone number to call, this website has information on local resources and planning guides for how to get out.

No More, Directory of Global Domestic and Sexual Violence Helplines and Services: One of the largest directories I could find with resources in all continents. Has an easy exit key in case you need to close out quickly.

MSP Guide to Determining if You are Being Trafficked: No answers recorded, just questions to ask yourself and think on. It's a good site to check out even if you're pretty sure you're not being trafficked.

Find Help, a Database of US-Based Local Resources: Food banks, housing help, free meals, shelters, and other outreach programs. Financial insecurity makes it hard to leave, these resources make it easier.

BuddyHelp, a Free Chat Website Staffed by Real Human Volunteers: Sometimes, just talking to another person can help.

The Mental Health Coalition Database of Resources: Organized by category, includes LGBTQ+ safe resources

Here's the link to their website with download links for both IOS and Android.
