National Human Trafficking Awareness Day
In 2007 Congress declared January 11 of each year, National Human Trafficking Awareness Day with the following:
"...Congress supports the goals and ideals of observing the National Day of Human Trafficking Awareness on January 11 of each year and all other efforts to raise awareness of and opposition to human trafficking."
The first National Human Trafficking Awareness Day took place on January 11, 2008 with organizations throughout the country promoting awareness in their communities.
Working with Sandie Morgan of the Orange County Human Trafficking Task Force, Sorpotimist International of Brea/La Habra invited people from city governments, local chambers of commerce, and police forces to become more aware and informed on the problem of human trafficking that exists in all areas and walks of life. Including our local comminties.
To begin your jounery on the awareness of this horriffic global and local problem, preview the video clip, "The Cost of Demand," from the Orange County Human Trafficking Task Force, 2009.
