The resolution recognizes January 2025 as "National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month" in the State of Rhode Island. It highlights the grave issue of human trafficking, which affects an estimated 27.6 million people globally, particularly women and children, and generates significant profits for traffickers. The resolution references the United Nations' definition of human trafficking and the various forms of exploitation involved, including forced labor and sexual exploitation.

Additionally, the resolution notes the progress made since the observance of National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month began in January 2018, including substantial financial contributions to combat human trafficking and enhance international collaboration among law enforcement and community organizations. The resolution calls for the Secretary of State to transmit certified copies to key figures, including the President of the United States, the Governor of Rhode Island, and the Secretary-General of the United Nations, to raise awareness and promote action against human trafficking.
