Each January, communities, advocates, and organizations across the United States come together to observe two critical awareness campaigns: National Human Trafficking Prevention & Awareness Month and National Stalking Awareness Month. These observances serve as powerful reminders of the pervasive issues of human trafficking and stalking, urging us to take collective action to prevent and address these forms of violence.
