Which organization is listed as a non-profit referral source for trafficking cases?

• A. FBI
• B. Salvation Army
• C. Polaris Project
• D. Amnesty International

Answer: (C)

Non-profit referral sources are organizations that connect trafficking victims to services such as shelter, legal aid, medical care, and case management, rather than focusing on investigations. Polaris Project runs the National Human Trafficking Resource Center, a dedicated helpline and referral network that links people who may be trafficking victims to local resources and support. That targeted role—connecting survivors to services—fits the idea of a non-profit referral source best. The FBI is a federal law-enforcement agency, so its primary function is investigation and enforcement, not providing direct service referrals. The Salvation Army offers broad charitable services, including aid to trafficking victims in some contexts, but it isn’t the standardized non-profit referral source highlighted in many training materials. Amnesty International concentrates on human rights advocacy rather than serving as a direct victim-referral point for trafficking cases.
