CA Attorney General goes online to combat human trafficking

From the office of Attorney General Kamala Harris:

Attorney General Kamala D. Harris announces her involvement in a program with Yahoo! and Polaris Project to combat human trafficking by harnessing the power of the Internet. 

It works like this:

This program with Yahoo! and Polaris Project will provide Internet users with the National Human Trafficking Resource Center hotline number when they search for specific words or phrases. If key search terms such as “human trafficking” are used when using Yahoo! Search, Internet users will see a banner that states: “Call the National Human Trafficking Resource Center at 1-888-373-7888 to report sex trafficking, forced labor, or to get help.”
