Proclaims January as Human Trafficking Awareness and Prevention Month in Wisconsin

Recognizes that human trafficking has been reported in all 72 Wisconsin counties, affecting rural, urban, and suburban communities

Notes that over 100,000 human trafficking cases have been reported to the National Human Trafficking Hotline since 2007, with average victims entering the sex trade between ages 12-15

Highlights at-risk populations targeted by traffickers, including abuse survivors, runaway and homeless youth, unaccompanied minors, individuals with disabilities, and those recruited through social media

Aligns with the federal designation of January 11 as a national day of awareness, established by U.S. Senate resolution on June 22, 2007
