Have you ever wondered why some products are so cheap? Be aware of the origin of your cheap purchased items. Someone could be suffering from forced labor, sweatshops, and child labor. This is what we call social injustices, trade injustices, and most of all human slavery. Not all of these laborers may even receive wages for their work. Items with a mark of fair trade may be pricey but it gives you an assurance, that you are not supporting a human trafficking business.
January 2025 is the National Human Trafficking Prevention Month. President Biden calls upon organizations, families, and American people to recognize our duty in ending human trafficking. By observing this month as National Human Trafficking Prevention Month, given the programs and events to end all forms of human trafficking, we are on our way to liberating people from this modern-day slavery and preventing it from happening to those who are at risk. You may not know who is at risk, so do not take the chance. Do not let the traffickers take away one's dignity.
Human Trafficking is a $150 billion money-making industry. The United States is a significant destination for trafficked victims. This is happening before our eyes using the food we eat, the clothes we wear, and services we patronize, among other things.
If you would like to support this advocacy of ending human trafficking, you can wear blue, post it on your social media using the #WearBlueDay (hashtagWearblueDay) and share your photo with us jpic.office@gmail.com so we can feature you in our JPIC social media. You can participate in this blue campaign, particularly on January 11 which is dedicated for National Human Trafficking Awareness Day.
