This day serves as a reminder to end the suffering endured by victims who are forced into lives of punishment, terror, and crime.
Falling on January 11 this year, the day provides a crucial opportunity for individuals, communities, and organizations to unite against human trafficking.
The focus is on raising awareness, tightening security measures, and preventing various forms of trafficking, particularly sexual exploitation, which disproportionately affects women.
Designated by the United States Senate in 2007, and expanded by President Barack Obama in January 2010, this day sheds light on various aspects of human trafficking, including forced labour, criminal activities, sexual exploitation, organ removal, and smuggling.
Despite progress, slavery persists, and the day emphasizes the importance of understanding victims' plights, fostering empathy, and contributing to rehabilitation efforts.
