The online referral directory by Polaris is made up of anti-trafficking organizations and programs that offer emergency, transitional, or long-term services to victims and survivors of human trafficking as well as those that provide resources and opportunities in the anti-trafficking field.
In response to the presence of human trafficking in North Dakota, a Human Trafficking Commission was created by the 64th Legislative Assembly and established within the Office of Attorney General. N.D.C.C. § 54-12-33. The Commission was originally charged with developing a coordinated and comprehensive plan to provide victims with services; collecting and evaluating data on human trafficking in this state and promoting public awareness about human trafficking, victim remedies and services, and trafficking prevention. During the 65th ND Legislative Assembly, the authority and duties of the Commission were narrowed in order to focus on the collection and evaluation of data, and to promote public awareness on human trafficking and victim services. The Attorney General’s office partners with the federal North Dakota Human Trafficking Task Force on these efforts.
