Statewide Human Trafficking Hotline: (866)- ENDHTGA (3634842)

In coordination with state partners and non-profits, a statewide human trafficking hotline was created to serve as a one-stop shop to answer questions and receive assistance. This hotline serves as a vital resource that provides information to law enforcement when there is suspicion of sexual or labor exploitation of minors or adults, as well as connects individuals to services and resources throughout the state. Trained law enforcement agents, advocates, and first responders are available 24/7 to answer calls. The hotline is also available in Spanish. Please visit our website for more information about this initiative.

Statewide Screening Tool for Child Sex Trafficking and Exploitation in Georgia

The Statewide Screening Tool for Child Sex Trafficking and Exploitation was created by the Georgia Criminal Justice Coordinating Council. The tool was peer reviewed by a group of state partners and organizations. This tool will equip communities across Georgia to appropriately respond to suspicion of DMST/CSEC by utilizing the tool as a guide to identify victims and refer them to Child Advocacy Centers of Georgia. The Statewide Screening Tool will ultimately improve the identification of victims and expedite access to services and care. Additionally, a statewide tool will improve cross-system communication regarding data collection and the number of sexually exploited and trafficked youth in Georgia. Access to the Statewide Screening Tool is available through most state agency websites.
