Bill > SR0090

This resolution formally recognizes January 2026 as Human Trafficking Prevention Month, acknowledging that human trafficking, which includes both sex trafficking and forced labor, is a serious global and local issue that threatens freedom and human dignity. It highlights that traffickers use deceit, threats, and pressure to control victims and force them into commercial sex acts or labor, impacting millions worldwide and specifically noting that Michigan saw hundreds of cases and victims in 2024. The resolution emphasizes the importance of public awareness in empowering communities to identify trafficking, report suspicious activity, and support survivors, and it commends the efforts of law enforcement, advocacy groups, and service providers in Michigan who work to prevent trafficking and aid survivors, pledging to continue legislative and educational efforts to combat this crime.
