Key Points

  • The Senate officially recognized January 1 through February 1, 2025, as a time to raise awareness about human trafficking and modern slavery. This period honors the history of freedom in the U.S., starting on the anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation and ending on National Freedom Day.
  • The resolution shares alarming data, noting that there are roughly 50 million victims of trafficking worldwide. In the U.S., trafficking has been investigated in every state, with homeless youth and Native American women identified as being at particularly high risk.
  • By marking this month, Congress aims to encourage better cooperation between police, social workers, and the public. The goal is to improve how victims are identified and supported while making it harder for traffickers to hide their crimes through education and community programs.
