The resolution introduced in the Wisconsin Legislature proclaims January 2025 as Human Trafficking Awareness and Prevention Month. It highlights the serious issue of human trafficking, which involves the recruitment, harboring, or transportation of individuals through force, fraud, or coercion for purposes of sexual or labor exploitation. The resolution emphasizes that at-risk populations, including youth who have experienced violence or are disconnected from support networks, are disproportionately targeted by traffickers. It cites alarming statistics, such as the average age of trafficking victims entering the sex trade being between 12 and 15 years old, and notes that human trafficking has been reported in all 72 counties of Wisconsin.

The resolution calls for increased awareness and education among citizens to recognize and combat human trafficking, aligning with efforts by nonprofit organizations and law enforcement to provide resources and support to victims. It acknowledges the historical significance of January 11 as a day of awareness established by a U.S. Senate resolution in 2007 and reiterates Wisconsin's commitment to a zero-tolerance policy towards human trafficking. The resolution aims to unite the community in the fight against this modern-day slavery, reinforcing the fundamental principles of liberty and human rights.
