January is National Human Trafficking Prevention Month. Every year since 2010, the President has dedicated the month to raise awareness about human trafficking and to educate the public about how to identify and prevent this crime.
National Human Trafficking Awareness Day is recognized each year on January 11. In recognition of this important day, and throughout the month of January, Blue Campaign hosts several special events and educational activities, the largest being #WearBlueDay on January 11.
On this day, Blue Campaign invites the public to take photos of themselves, friends, family, and colleagues wearing blue clothing and share them on social media with the hashtag #WearBlueDay.
Would you like to be featured on AAHOA's social media sporting your blue attire for #WearBlueDay? Send your photos to pr@aahoa.com to get recognized for participating in this human trafficking awareness campaign.
