National Human Trafficking Awareness Day

National Human Trafficking Awareness Day is held annually on January 11. It was founded by the United States Senate on June 22nd, 2007.

Sadly this is happening right now in our back yard even, right under our nose and most of the time we don’t even know it. That is why Awareness is the best weapon!

Human trafficking is a crime in which force, fraud or coercion is used to compel a person to perform labor, services or commercial sex. It affects all populations: adults, children, men, women, foreign nationals and U.S. citizens, and all economic classes. The Defense Department continues to raise awareness and do its part to end this crime.
