World Day against Trafficking in Persons is celebrated on July 30
World Day against Trafficking in Persons is celebrated on July 30 and was established by the United Nations General Assembly to raise awareness of this serious violation of human rights. Human trafficking involves the exploitation of individuals through coercion, fraud or deception, for the purpose of profit. This abhorrent practice affects millions of people around the world, especially women and children, who are often forced to work in conditions of slavery, sexual exploitation or servitude. On World Day against Trafficking in Persons, organizations and governments carry out campaigns to educate the public about this problem, promote prevention and protect victims. It is an opportunity to highlight the need for global action to combat this modern form of slavery and ensure that human rights are respected in all circumstances.
