January is Human Trafficking Prevention Month (HTPM), a presidentially designated observance designed to educate the public about human trafficking and the role it can play in preventing and responding to human trafficking.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) theme for 2024 is Activate Connections to Prevent Human Trafficking. Successful awareness building relies on engaging with our partners on every level through different mediums. In this webinar, OTIP discusses communications planning and awareness building for January. The webinar provides an overview of the HTPM Toolkit and share foundational principals for public awareness and outreach, including using person-centered and culturally-responsive messaging and images, ethical storytelling, and engaging experts with lived experience.
