January is human trafficking awareness month. The month is dedicated to educating the public about human trafficking, how to identify it, and how to prevent it. Human trafficking is defined as the use of force, fraud, or coercion to obtain some type of labor or commercial sex act. Human trafficking can happen anywhere and we all need to be aware of what to look for and how to help. Below is some information about human trafficking and how you can be a part of the Blue Campaign.
