National Human Trafficking Awareness Day

• Description
  

  In 2007 the United States Senate made a resolution naming January 11th as Human Trafficking Awareness Day to combat and bring awareness to Human Trafficking in the United States.

  More than 20 years ago, the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) of 2000  enshrined the United States’ commitment to combating human trafficking domestically and internationally. In 2010, by presidential proclamation, President Obama declared January “National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month” and every year since, each president has followed this tradition.

  Civil Rights Observance City Wide, Worcester - Map It
  

  The intent of these calendar entries is to provide information on landmark civil rights legislation, national and international human rights observances as well as cultural observances to bring awareness to the work of the Office of Human Rights and Disabilities and cultural diversity in our city. The hope is that it will serve to (1) Inform residents how the City is addressing human rights issues through the promotion of events and trainings; (2) Call attention to social inequities and celebrate cultural diversity; and (3) Increase resident involvement in civic functions.
