AI Summary
This resolution proclaims January 2025 as Human Trafficking Awareness and Prevention Month in Wisconsin, drawing attention to the critical issue of human trafficking by highlighting several key facts and concerns. The resolution defines human trafficking as the recruitment, transportation, or harboring of individuals through force, fraud, or coercion for sexual or labor exploitation, and emphasizes that traffickers often target vulnerable populations such as runaway youth, individuals with disabilities, and those disconnected from support networks. It cites alarming statistics, including over 100,000 reported trafficking cases since 2007, and notes that the average age of entry into the sex trade is between 12 and 15 years old, with approximately one in six endangered runaways likely being trafficking victims. The resolution underscores that human trafficking has been reported in all 72 Wisconsin counties and is considered a form of modern-day slavery that fundamentally opposes principles of liberty and human rights. It also recognizes the efforts of nonprofit organizations working to combat trafficking by providing resources to victims and calls on citizens to become aware of and actively work to prevent human trafficking, aligning with a 2007 U.S. Senate resolution that designated January 11 as a day of awareness for trafficking victims.
