SRES 39 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A resolution supporting the observation of National Trafficking and Modern Slavery Prevention Month during the period beginning on January 1, 2025, and ending on February 1, 2025, to raise awareness of, and opposition to, human trafficking and modern slavery.

SRES 39 is a symbolic Senate resolution designating January 1-February 1, 2025, 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 urges federal, state, tribal, and local agencies, along with community organizations, to hold awareness events during this period. The resolution references historical dates (January 1, anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation; February 1, National Freedom Day) to connect the observance with the fight against slavery. It indirectly affects the public by promoting education and collaboration to combat trafficking, though it has no binding legal effect.
