DHS Blue Campaign's #WearBlueDay on January 11
January is National Human Trafficking Prevention Month, a time to reflect on the resilience of trafficking survivors and the importance of recognizing and preventing this crime. Sunday, January 11, marks National Human Trafficking Awareness Day, also known as #WearBlueDay.
An awareness effort of the Department of Homeland Security's Blue Campaign, #WearBlueDay encourages public participation in raising awareness of trafficking worldwide. The Blue Campaign invites the public to:
- Wear blue, the international color of human trafficking awareness, to exemplify your commitment to help save lives.
- Post a photo of yourself, or with others, on social media using the hashtag #WearBlueDay.
- Empower others in your community to do the same.
On Wednesday, January 28, the Blue Campaign will host a Human Trafficking 101 webinar from 1:30-2:30 p.m. (CST). Click here to register for this free virtual event.
If you suspect a person may be a victim of human or labor trafficking, contact the National Human Trafficking Hotline at 888-373-7888. As MBAT members, we encourage you to remain vigilant as trafficking is not only on the rise but all around us.
