Discreet and Anonymous Reporting 
Reports can be made anonymously, confidentially , and discreetly. Your identity does not have to be disclosed, ensuring your privacy and protection.
Guidance for Potential Victims – Safety First 
Your safety is the top priority. If you think someone might be monitoring your phone or internet use or emails, or if you feel unsafe, please consider your personal safety before reaching out to an organization or helpline.
Guidance for Observers – Stay Safe 
Stay Safe: Your safety and the safety of potential victims come first. Avoid confronting traffickers or victims directly, as this could make the situation more dangerous.
Take Notes: If you notice something concerning, write down details like descriptions, behaviors, locations, and times, but do not get involved directly.
