The National Human Trafficking Hotline found that 7,500 cases of
human trafficking were reported in 2016 — up from 5,526 in the previous
year, based on the group's data.
The hotline, which is run by the nonprofit
organization Polaris, maintains a resource center for victims of
trafficking and aggregates statistics based on incoming reports and
phone calls. It also reported that California and Texas are again among
the most egregious states for human trafficking.
