Human Trafficking

Every year, millions of men, women, and children are trafficked worldwide – including right here in the United States. It can happen in any community, to anyone. This campaign want people to learn what human trafficking is, what approaches traffickers use, and how you can keep your community safe.

Blue Campaign is a national public awareness campaign designed to educate the public, law enforcement, and other industry partners to recognize the indicators of human trafficking, and how to appropriately respond to possible cases. Blue Campaign works closely with Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Components to create general awareness training and materials for law enforcement and others to increase detection of human trafficking, and to identify victims.

Located within the DHS Center for Countering Human Trafficking, Blue Campaign leverages partnerships with the private sector, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO), law enforcement, and state/local authorities to maximize national public engagement on anti-human trafficking efforts. Blue Campaign’s educational awareness objectives consist of two foundational elements, prevention of human trafficking and protection of exploited persons.
