There is still a great deal left to be understood about how widespread human trafficking is and how it works. Polaris holds the largest known data set on human trafficking in North America, which grew out of more than a decade of operating the U.S. National Human Trafficking Hotline. Internally, we scour the data for patterns and other information that form the underpinning of our pilot programs, policy decisions and long-term strategies. And we make findings from the data set available to others in research, academia and the anti-trafficking movement because the more we all know, the faster we can end it.
