This year National Human Trafficking Awareness Day is observed on January 11, 2022, which is on Tuesday.
The day aims at raising awareness of the plight of human trafficking victims, and promoting and protecting their rights.
Though the entire month of January has already been recognized as National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month, this day is specifically dedicated to awareness and prevention of illegal practice.
In 2007, the United States Senate ratified the resolution establishing January 11th as National Human Trafficking Awareness Day.
In 2010, President Obama dedicated the entire month of January to awareness and prevention of human trafficking.
Today, there are over 50 established organizations that globally combat this illegal practice, and more awareness has been raised than ever before.
