#WearBlueDay for National Human Trafficking Awareness

We will be wearing blue on January 11 to raise awareness of human trafficking. Will you join us?

Human trafficking is a multibillion-dollar industry that thrives in darkness and secrecy.


the fight to end trafficking begins with awareness and acknowledgement.

National Human Trafficking Awareness Day is recognized on January 11 each year in the United States to raise awareness and acknowledgement for a nefarious industry that thrives in darkness and secrecy. To stand in solidarity against exploitation, the Young Living Foundation will be participating in the #WearBlueDay campaign, and we want you to join us!

Why wear blue?

Human trafficking happens all around the world, and the United States is no exception. According to the U.S. Department of State, in 2019, the National Human Trafficking Hotline received 136,990 reports and identified 11,852 potential human trafficking cases.



         

         

Globally, it is estimated that there are 16 million victims of labor trafficking in private industry, 4.8 million victims of sex trafficking, and 4.1 million victims of state-imposed forced labor.

These statistics may make the issue feel too big to tackle, but together we can. Freedom for those who are victimized by human trafficking is worth the fight, and the Young Living Foundation is dedicated to ending human trafficking and exploitation around the world. Join us in showing you are as well by wearing blue on January 11!

Our efforts to end exploitation

Since joining the fight against human trafficking alongside our partner Hope for Justice, your support has helped us donate over $5.7 million to the cause.
