World Day Against Trafficking in Persons
On World Day Against Trafficking in Persons 2026, the UN calls for greater action to protect victims and to strengthen cross-border cooperation that disrupts the organized crime groups responsible.
That’s why CCHT works close to home, bringing awareness to our area and protecting local kids. Stand with us through education and outreach.
Why it matters
The risk rises in summer
95%
of teens ages 13–17 have an online presence, which exposes them to grooming and recruiting through gaming platforms and apps.
40%+
of child abductions happen in June, July, and August, when kids are out of school with unsupervised time.
Social media is becoming the most common place for sex trafficking and exploitation in America. Traffickers often build a relationship over time, and they can even be people you know. When we build community support and work together, we can raise awareness and keep vulnerable kids safer.
“On this World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, let us act together to stand with victims, hold perpetrators to account and build a world where no one is bought, sold, or exploited.”
