Today is Human Trafficking Awareness Day

Human trafficking violates human rights and causes grave, devastating harm to the health and well-being of millions of adults and young people worldwide, including tens of thousands in the United States. President Biden has declared January National Human Trafficking Prevention Month and issued a National Action Plan to Combat Human Trafficking.

Futures Without Violence is working hard to prevent trafficking with an eye toward how it intersects with domestic violence and sexual assault, and to advance programs and policies that support the recovery and resilience of survivors.
