Human Trafficking Resources
Sacramento Regional Family Justice Center & 24/7 Hotline
The Hotline is staffed by trained advocates. The Hotline provides 24/7 access to information, safety planning, and referrals to critical services.
The Sacramento Regional Family Justice Center offers myriad services and resources for victims of domestic violence, elder abuse, human trafficking, sexual assault and child abuse all in ONE place. This means victims only need to tell their story ONE time to get all the help they need to move from a place of danger and trauma to one of safety and hope.
The human trafficking team works very closely with several other nonprofit agencies who provide safe shelter, peer counseling, and specialized medical care at Dignity Health’s Medical Safe Haven for victims of human trafficking, Additionally, attorneys can assist with restraining order petitions. If you have children they can connect you with friends to get clothing, diapers, and anything else you may need to meet their immediate needs. They also work closely with the Human Trafficking Unit in the District Attorney’s office to ensure your safety during prosecutions of traffickers.
