Introduction

The operations of any organization are controlled by either the federal or the state governments. The governments have the mandate to pass legislations to organizations to safeguard the well-being of all the stakeholders. Through careful consideration of the implications of the given legislature, organizations can choose to agree with the legislation without fussing, or they can decide to debut the requirements of the law.

In my position as the Polarisproject.org National Hotline Operations Fellow with the responsibility of supporting people who are either victims or survivors of trafficking by offering supportive work for the programmatic staff working with the National Human Trafficking Hotline. In this position, I'm expected to work with the NHTH staffs that provide help to the people, who have gone through human trafficking among other crimes. The position gives me the mandate of working with local and national agencies fighting trafficking, the community members, law enforcement officers, service providers, and students. Best practices in the service of human trafficking victims and survivors.

The National Human Trafficking Hotline fully agrees with the legislation because it just strengthens its mandate. The terms of reference of the NHTH are to progressively improve the response to the nationals to protect them against any form of human trafficking adequately. The legislation brought forward by the Polaris project requires that the government should give priority to the efforts of eradicating any activities of human trafficking and protect those who have been victims either in the USA or while outside the nation. We offer full support to the government by providing anti-trafficking hotline service, provision of data standards and sharing, protection of all the policies for the vulnerable populations and victims. The NHTH endeavors to work in line with the legislation to improve protection for the victims, reduce the vulnerability of workers and to give advances in the investigations of human trafficking.

The legislation press to fortify policies and the practices that go a long way into bringing the modern slavery in the United States to an end. The legislation will be effective through the NHTF contact center because it will be cost effective, readily acceptable by the general public and will be politically friendly to other legislations. The NHTH is operated by Polaris and gets funding from the Department of Health and Human Services. Its primary concern is to ensure a provide a toll- free hotline which will be available always to ensure that proper information is given to all potential trafficking victims among others.

Culture and diversity issues have an impact on the quality and the impartiality of the services that are offered under the “ending modern slavery” slavery. The impact of culture and diversity will be felt where different cultures perceive to certain things differently. For example, there are communities that will see a particular action as a form of human trafficking while another will see it differently resulting in a conflict.

The organization is concerned with the legal and ethical matters of human rights and dignity protection. The NHTH seeks to provide information to those that have been through any trafficking or those that are at inherent risk of being subjected to trafficking. It offers services that allow them to pass or seek any information that they need.

The legislation can be redesigned in a way that will address the problem of human trafficking for different communities. The restructuring can be achieved through the establishment of various subsections of the NHTF each addressing people with a particular culture. The legislation can further address legal and ethical concerns by listing all the forms of human trafficking and the penalty for each. By doing those who have been through molestation of any kind and those who are in potential risk will be able to know the rights bestowed on them.

Conclusion

The National Human Trafficking Hotline agrees with the legislation details to control human trafficking in the United States, and it offers full support in ensuring that the community is served well. The NTHT agrees to support the legislation by thorough analysis that shows the legislation as being helpful, feasible and viable.
