Human trafficking devastates millions across the globe regardless of their age, race, gender identity, sex, ethnicity, nationality, disability, immigration status, or socioeconomic class. As long as there are victims of this heinous crime, Blue Campaign’s mission to #EndTrafficking is not complete. July 30 is World Day Against Trafficking in Persons. This year’s theme is, “Reach every victim of trafficking, leave no one behind.” Blue Campaign challenges you to raise awareness of human trafficking so that no victim is forgotten. There are several ways to participate:
- Share the Blue Campaign newsletter with your network: There is strength in numbers. Forward the Blue Campaign newsletter to others and encourage them to subscribe. When they sign up, they’ll become part of a network that receives monthly updates on campaign activities and resources they can use to combat human trafficking in their community or workplace.
- Engage with us on social media: Follow @DHSBlueCampaign on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram for regular human trafficking awareness and education information. Throughout July and beyond, you can share Blue Campaign posts to spread awareness with your followers.
- Educate your staff, stakeholders, and communities: Did you know that Blue Campaign offers a variety of free, downloadable, and shareable materials? Be sure to check out the indicator cards, toolkits, and more in our library of resources.
