For Survivor Leaders
Hotlines
Please see the list below for places you can contact if you are in urgent need of support or services.
Am I a survivor?
If you are unsure of whether you are now being trafficked or have been trafficked in the past, please read the information we have compiled about human trafficking, the different types, and its implications in the Resources part of this website, and see whether what you have experienced fits within these concepts. If you think that it does or if you are still unsure, refer back to this page.
If you are still unsure, ask yourself the following questions:
- Did you feel forced?
- Did you feel exploited?
- Did you feel that your consent was not honoured?
- Were you unclear about the conditions under which you had to succumb?
- Were the promises you were made not honoured?
- Were you unable to leave the situation for one reason or another?
If any of these apply to your experience, you have the right to certain services under the law. You are not a victim; you are a survivor.
If any of these apply to you, please register to be a member of Azadi here and we will reach out to you. If Azadi is unable to help you in your specific situation, we will refer you to the people and organisations who can help you appropriately.

Your Rights
Your Right to Protection
Under the Victims Protection Act, the government is obligated to assist you without infringing on your rights. This means the government must actively protect you from violations , such as being denied access to healthcare or a fair trial.
As a survivor, you are entitled to:
-
Clear, accessible information and support
-
Access to reparation and compensation
-
Special protection if you are especially vulnerable, or if people connected to you are at risk
​​
Your Right to Protection from Trafficking
The Counter-Trafficking in Persons Act requires the government to meet its obligations under the Palermo Protocol , the UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime's protocol on preventing and combating trafficking in persons.
​
Your Right to Holistic Care
You have the right to holistic care, protection, and rehabilitation in an environment that safeguards your rights. This is delivered through a standardized process under the National Referral Mechanism, which provides:
-
Identification of victims
-
Referral to appropriate services
-
Holistic support — addressing your physical, mental, and emotional needs
​​
These measures exist to give real, practical support for the challenges connected to human trafficking and modern slavery. Above all, they exist to ensure you are heard, and treated with courtesy, compassion and respect.
