Assistance to Victims

Sexual and labor exploitation are against the law both in the United States and in Latvia. Laws of both countries prohibit slavery. Victims of crime, including trafficking victims, can receive assistance.

If you are a trafficking victim or know somebody who is a trafficking victim and needs assistance, such as rehabilitation services, psychological, medical, or other help, there are local specialists available. Please call hotline telephone 800-2012 (free of charge) or contact:
