January is Human Trafficking Awareness Month; Know the Signs
The measure to proclaim January as National Human Trafficking Awareness Month was established late last year by the Biden Administration. The measure hopes to raise awareness about the problem and to advocate for survivors of human trafficking. Efforts are also being made to encourage victims to speak out against their abusers in the hopes of one day bringing an end to human trafficking. According to the Montana Division of Criminal Investigations, and as revealed in an article I published last August, nearly 300 human trafficking cases nationwide are reported monthly. On a scaled study, this consisted of 84 minors of child sex trafficking, 37 missing children, and nearly 140 verified were adult victims of human trafficking.
