Bill > HRes1024

This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' support for designating January 2026 as "National Human Trafficking Prevention Month" to reaffirm the nation's commitment to ending all forms of human trafficking, which is defined as a serious crime and violation of human rights including forced labor, involuntary servitude, commercial sexual exploitation, and forced marriage. The resolution acknowledges past legislative efforts like the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000, highlights the importance of public awareness and vigilance, and cites statistics from the National Human Trafficking Hotline showing thousands of potential trafficking cases and victims identified annually. It encourages governments at all levels, faith-based institutions, community organizations, and private sector partners to participate in prevention efforts, support victims, and educate the public, while also urging strong law enforcement action, recognizing the crucial role of survivors and advocates, and calling on all Americans to stay vigilant and report suspicious activity.
