RECOGNIZING THE MONTH OF JANUARY 2025 AS "HUMAN TRAFFICKING AWARENESS MONTH" IN DELAWARE.

HCR 4 is a symbolic resolution recognizing January 2025 as "Human Trafficking Awareness Month" in Delaware. It does not create new laws or allocate funds but aims to raise public awareness about human trafficking through statewide educational efforts. The resolution references Delaware-specific data, including 269 identified trafficking cases and 611 victims reported via Delaware's hotline in fiscal year 2024. It aligns with ongoing work by Delaware's Anti-Trafficking Action Council (DATAC) to coordinate community responses. This resolution directly affects Delaware residents by designating a month for community education on trafficking prevention and victim support.
