10 January 2024
“Human Trafficking Awareness Day takes place on 11th January every year and is a solemn reminder of the ongoing fight against human trafficking, a grave violation of human rights affecting millions worldwide. This day is dedicated to raising awareness about the different forms of human trafficking, including labour and sexual exploitation, and to educating the public about how to identify and combat this global issue. Human Trafficking Awareness Day serves as a call to action for governments, organizations, and individuals to increase efforts to prevent trafficking, protect victims, and prosecute perpetrators. It’s a day to shed light on the plight of victims and to promote the importance of human rights, dignity, and freedom. By bringing attention to this critical issue, the day aims to inspire collective action and foster a world where such exploitation is eradicated.”
