Help rescue people from human trafficking and exploitation

National Human Trafficking Awareness Day 2026

On January 11th, National Human Trafficking Awareness Day, take action to create change. Together, we can make freedom possible for everyone.

What is Human Trafficking Awareness Day?

Established in 2007 by the U.S. Senate, National Human Trafficking Awareness Day on January 11th shines a light on the realities of human trafficking and exploitation. This day is part of Human Trafficking Prevention Month, an opportunity to educate, advocate, and drive change.

Why Wear Blue?

On January 11th, join others across the nation by wearing blue, the color recognized by Homeland Security for human trafficking awareness. Wearing blue symbolizes solidarity and serves as a visible commitment to ending trafficking and protecting the vulnerable.
