To make the government services more accessible to the public, the Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking through its Advocacy and Communications Committee (ADVOCOM) launched the ‘1343 Actionline’ against Human Trafficking on 15 March 2011. It is a 24/7 hotline facility that responds to general inquiries on human trafficking related issues, emergency or crisis calls from victims of human trafficking and their families. It expanded its services to other modes of reporting through website, email address, mobile application and text line. From 2014 to January 2019, the Actionline has received 20,187 case reports, 348 of which are verified cases involving 340 victim-survivors of human trafficking and other related cases.
