July 30 is the WORLD DAY AGAINST TRAFFICKING IN PERSONS, a global campaign observed annually to raise awareness of human trafficking.
According to Equality Now, trafficking can affect anyone, including adults, but 1 in 3 victims is a child, with girls making up the majority of child trafficking cases. Children are also twice as likely to face violence when trafficked than adults.
With the disproportionate effects of trafficking on children across the globe, this year’s theme is
Leave no child behind.
Blue Campaign is a national public awareness campaign through the Department of Homeland Security designed to educate the public, law enforcement, and other industry partners to recognize the indicators of human trafficking and how to appropriately respond to possible cases.
