On the last day of 2019, President Donald Trump proclaimed January as “National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month,” calling the crime of trafficking an “affront to humanity that tragically reaches all parts of the world.”
In the Dec. 31 proclamation, Trump said trafficking “erodes personal dignity and also ”destroys the moral fabric of society.” He said there are new trafficking victims every day in the United States, adding that in January, his administration is reaffirming their commitment to eradicating the crime.
