Combat Trafficking at Scale
EQUIP
Here are the components of our model. We operate helplines that Respond to victims of human trafficking effectively and immediately by identifying victims and connecting them to comprehensive services that reduce their vulnerability and end the cycle of abuse.
We Equip the public and private sectors with the knowledge and tools necessary to combat human trafficking at scale.
We Disrupt the business of human trafficking by developing targeted activities that attack entire trafficking networks instead of just playing “whack-a-mole” with individual criminals.

4. Our Priorities 1
U.S. MODEL RESPONSE 2
NORTH AMERICA REGIONAL BUILD 3
SEX TRAFFICKING FROM MEXICO 4
ILLICIT MASSAGE BUSINESSES
Advance a coordinated, multi-stakeholder response to disrupt human trafficking across the entire North America continent.
Elevate the anti- trafficking response in communities across the U.S. creating slavery- proof environments.
Disrupt sex trafficking networks from Mexico, collaborate with service providers to create a robust victim response, and raise awareness to prevent future trafficking.
Dismantle the trafficking networks that exploit women in fake massage businesses and build a strong safety net for survivors.
Specifically, here are the objectives that we are advancing to further our model.

5. Human Trafficking Cases
Reported in 2015
This is a nationwide problem. This is the location of every human trafficking case the NHTRC hotline learned about in More than 5,544 cases were reported to the NHTRC in 2015.

6. Hotline Impact
“Requiring the NHTRC number to be posted in public places is the most important provision for increasing the number of human trafficking arrests.”
NIJ funded report
IDENTIFYING EFFECTIVE COUNTER-TRAFFICKING PROGRAMS AND PRACTICES: LEGISLATIVE, LEGAL AND PUBLIC OPINION STRATEGIES THAT WORK (2015)

7. Key Statistics
27,000
HUMAN TRAFFICKING CASES IDENTIFED AND RESPONDED TO
7,500
CASES REPORTED TO LAW ENFORCEMENT
290
REFERRAL AND RESPONSE PROTOCOLS BUILT
14,000+
CALLS FROM SURVIVORS
Thousands of people are getting the help they need through the hotline and law enforcement is using this information to stop traffickers from exploiting more people. However, we’re not only creating a safety net for survivors, we’re collecting robust data that we can analyze to understand where and how human trafficking is happening. And with that data, we can now understand the many manifestations of trafficking and develop a targeted strategy to eliminate each one.

8. Developing a Human Trafficking Typology
Polaris’s data analysis program has analyzed the 25,000 cases that we have learned about on the hotlines. And we can now see that human trafficking takes many forms. Each requires a unique response.

9. Mapping Human Trafficking Routes
Blue = recruitment paths, recruitment sites
Red = exploitation sites, exploitation paths (only relevant for cases which involved significant movement/rotation of PVs between geographic locations)

10. Analyzing Networks - Labor Trafficking in Sales Crews
For example, we looked at hotline data and public business records to analyze the connections between businesses that are recruiting youth to sell magazines door-to-door – an industry rife with abuses and labor trafficking. Based on our analysis, we were able to provide federal prosecutors with information to strengthen their efforts to go after entire trafficking networks instead of a single abusive crew.
Highlight the unusual degree of centralization in this network, which reflects the fact that this is a very tight-knit industry.
There are 4-5 key nodes in the network, one of which is a person, one of which is an industry association, and the others of which are businesses. 
One of the reasons that it is so centralized is that most of the traveling sales companies work with a few key middlemen who buy magazines (or other products) from the distributors. The  middlemen on these graphs differ from fully legitimate middlemen in that they appear to sell almost exclusively to these traveling sales crews with questionable business practices. 
If you were to overlay the network with all of the social media links that exist between the owners and managers of the companies, you would barely be able to see the graph - almost everyone knows the other industry actors well enough to be connected on social media (mostly Facebook).  

11. Illicit Massage Business Initiative
Eliminate criminal networks and permanently close their illicit massage business locations
Utilize a wide range of investigative and prosecutorial tools to target criminal networks
Treat survivors as victims of crime and abuse and connect them to service providers
Engage in multiple agencies to harness their expertise to develop successful cases
We seek to advocate for and foster a holistic, victim-centric and sustainable approach that creates a safety net for women and dismantles the criminal network through collaboration and partnership with stakeholders.

12. Criminal Networks, Not Independent Locations
Think about the network, not an individual IMB
This is an example of a US city where we started with 33 individual IMBs and this resulted in a network of IMBs, individuals, and commercial organizations. This is all based on publicly available information.

13. Global Data Efforts Using the power of data to:
Demonstrate the scope of the problem
Equip communities to prevent victimization
Improve the response to support survivors
Gather vital intelligence to share with law enforcement to disrupt networks
Extend across borders
Salesforce is essential to this vision
