National Human Trafficking Awareness Day is recognized each year on January 11. In recognition of this important day, advocates of ending human trafficking wear blue and pray for an end to human trafficking. Many events culminate on February 8 on the Feast of St. Josephine Bakhita the patron saint of human trafficking.
Throughout the month of January, Blue Campaign hosts several special events and educational activities.
