January is National Human Trafficking Prevention Month, a time to focus on awareness and prevention.
Human trafficking is often hidden in plain sight, and poverty and economic instability can increase vulnerability—especially for young people. Prevention requires more than education alone; it means strengthening protective factors like stable housing, education, living wages, and trusted adult support.
When communities address root causes, risk is reduced.
