Human trafficking

  • Are you being forced to be a sex worker? You can get help.
  • You can phone the police. Or get in touch with someone who is not from the police.
  • Do you know someone who is being forced to be a sex worker? You can help

You are a victim

Are you being forced to be a sex worker? Do you have to give the money you earn to someone else? You might be a victim of human trafficking. You can get help:

  • If you are in immediate danger, phone 112
  • Not in immediate danger, but you do want help? Phone the police on 0900-8844
  • In Amsterdam, you can phone the police’s human trafficking team on 088-1693396
  • You don’t want to talk to the police but you do want help? These people can help you
  • You can often get a safe place in a shelter (Dutch only)

Don’t you have a residency permit? You can still get help. Sometimes, you are entitled to a special residency permit. Talk about that to the person who is helping you.
