January - National Slavery
and Human Trafficking
Prevention Month.
and Human Trafficking
Prevention Month.
In the United States, January 11th is observed each year
as National Human Trafficking Awareness Day. At the
United Nations, human trafficking is a crime that gets
attention every day from policy specialists, human rights
monitors, and program managers.
In a special report, we describe the UN's role in defining
this crime and in galvanizing a global response.
Excerpt: "Human trafficking is a crime with many
dimensions... The victims of human trafficking are frequently vulnerable
because of their young age and lack of economic opportunities. Women and
children are most at risk."
