The UN members in 2013 designated July 30 as World Day Against Trafficking in Persons. Also known as Anti-Human Trafficking Day, it is observed as a means of raising awareness about the reality of the victims of trafficking. The day is also dedicated to promote and protect the rights of people. Human trafficking exists irrespective of gender, and this day is a means for activists to open conversations on this very real issue and highlight what system changes can be stirred to help these victims and end human trafficking.
