National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month

Event Date:

Friday, January 1 - Sunday, January 31, 2021, All day

Human trafficking, which includes forced labor and commercial sexual exploitation, is a global crisis that is affecting all populations — men, women, children, U.S. citizens, and foreign nationals. Although human traffickers target both adults and minors, children and youth are particularly vulnerable. Youth recruited into human trafficking situations face multiple short-and long-term physical, mental, and emotional health consequences.

National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month reminds us about the importance of recognizing warning signs and preventing human trafficking among youth.

This month, learn about human trafficking and join us in taking a stand against this criminal and public health issue.
