SRES 21 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A resolution supporting the observation of National Trafficking and Modern Slavery Prevention Month during the period beginning on January 1, 2023, and ending on February 1, 2023, to raise awareness of, and opposition to, human trafficking and modern slavery.

SRES 21 is a symbolic Senate resolution designating January 1-February 1, 2023, as National Trafficking and Modern Slavery Prevention Month. It encourages awareness-raising activities during this period to support efforts against human trafficking and modern slavery, linking the observance to National Freedom Day on February 1. The resolution does not create new laws or allocate funds; it serves as a non-binding call for coordinated awareness campaigns by federal, state, tribal, and local entities. It directly affects public awareness efforts rather than specific populations, though it references trafficking statistics and victim support frameworks. The resolution aligns with existing federal anti-trafficking laws but focuses solely on commemorative recognition.
