anuary of 2023 was National Human Trafficking Prevention Month. Every year since 2010, the
president has dedicated the month to raise awareness about human traffick- ing and educate the public about how to show and prevent this crime. The U.S. Department of State raises aware- ness of human trafficking domestically and abroad, through U.S. embassies and consulates. During this month, we celebrate the
efforts of foreign governments, interna- tional organizations, anti-trafficking entities, law enforcement officials, sur- vivor advocates, communities of faith, businesses, and private citizens all around the world to raise awareness about human trafficking. More than 20 years ago, the
Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) of 2000 enshrined the United

States’ commitment to combating human trafficking domestically and internationally. In 2010, by presidential proclamation, President Obama declared January “National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month,” and every year since, each president has followed this tradition. President Biden proclaimed
January 2023 as “National Human Trafficking Prevention Month,” reaffirm- ing his administration’s commitment to protect and empower survivors of all forms of human trafficking, prosecute traffickers, and bring an end to human trafficking in the United States and around the world.
What Is Human Trafficking? Human trafficking is a $150 billion industry, according to the latest United Nations Trafficking in Persons (T.I.P
Report). It is the fastest growing crime in the world today, per Child Trafficking or the Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children (CSEC). Each year, millions of men, women, and chil- dren endure the evil of sex trafficking, exploitation, and slavery. Current esti- mates show 5 million women and chil- dren are victims of sex trafficking. Human trafficking involves the use
of force, fraud, or coercion to obtain some type of labor or commercial sex act. Every year, millions of men, women, and children are trafficked worldwide, including right here in the United States. It can happen in any community, and victims can be any age, race, gender, or nationality. Traffickers might use violence, manipu- lation, or false promises of well-paying jobs or romantic relationships to lure victims into trafficking situations.
