A resolution supporting the observation of National Trafficking and Modern Slavery Prevention Month during the period beginning on January 1, 2024, and ending on February 1, 2024, to raise awareness of, and opposition to, human trafficking and modern slavery.
SRES 541 is a symbolic Senate resolution designating January 1 to February 1, 2024, as "National Trafficking and Modern Slavery Prevention Month" to raise public awareness about human trafficking and modern slavery. It does not create new laws or policies but encourages educational activities and partnerships among government agencies, nonprofits, and survivors during this period. The resolution aligns with historical observances, including National Freedom Day on February 1, which commemorates the 13th Amendment's ratification. It specifically urges coordinated efforts to support victims and combat trafficking through awareness, without implementing any concrete policy changes.
