Who should call the hotline?
Anyone who is experiencing, or has experienced, domestic violence, sexual assault or child abuse.
Friends and family who have witnessed or suspect domestic violence, sexual assault or child abuse and want to help.
Domestic violence is a pattern of abusive and controlling behaviors used by one person in a relationship to control another by preventing a person from doing what they wish or forcing them to behave in ways they do not want. Domestic violence affects men, women, children, elderly and disabled and crosses all lines of income, race, religion, gender, sexual identity and education
Sexual assault can be verbal, visual or anything that forces a person to join in unwanted sexual contact or attention. A common misconception is that all sexual assaults involve intercourse or violence, but any form of sexual contact without voluntary consent is sexual assault. Consent obtained through pressure, coercion, force or threat of force is not voluntary consent.

It can happen in any community and victims can be any age, race, gender, or nationality. Traffickers might use the following methods to lure victims into trafficking situations:
