Twilio has partnered with several organizations, including Polaris Project, Thorn, and Salesforce.com, to create a new way for victims of human trafficking to communicate with the National Human Trafficking Resource Center (NHTRC) using a Twilio-powered shortcode. The goal is to provide a safe and discreet means of communication that can help rescue victims without risking detection by their captors. The Polaris Project's NHTRC has received over 70,000 phone calls in the past six years, but many cases involve victims who are monitored closely by their traffickers, making it difficult for them to seek help. By harnessing the power of communication, Twilio and its partners aim to save lives and combat human trafficking.
