National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month
Every January, National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month serves as a sobering reminder of the pervasive issue of modern slavery and human trafficking. This is a call to action for individuals, organizations, and communities to stand with us against human trafficking. This observance began in 2010, when President Barack Obama issued a proclamation dedicating the month to increasing awareness and strengthening efforts to combat human trafficking in all its forms.
BonePage.com proudly champions the cause of sexual freedom, believing that every individual has the right to make autonomous decisions about their body and relationships, so long as these choices harm no one. However, human trafficking and any form of involuntary sex work has no place in society. This core belief makes our commitment to the fight against slavery and human trafficking unwavering. Exploitation in any form is an affront to personal freedom and human dignity.
In support of the mission against human trafficking, BonePage.com contributes regularly to the Polaris Project, a leading organization in the fight against modern slavery. We invite you to follow the link listed below to join us by supporting the critical mission of Polaris Project.
