#Humantrafficking Awareness Day 2012
January 11, 2012 marks National Human Trafficking Awareness Day and Polaris Project intends to commemorate this significant day by increasing our ongoing efforts to raise awareness about human trafficking and inspire people to action. However, it is important that our efforts to raise awareness for the issue extend further than just this one day.
We are encouraging all anti-trafficking activists to participate in our month-long “[_________________]” Against Human Trafficking” photo campaign starting on National Human Trafficking Awareness Day and ending on Valentine’s Day 2012. At the end of the campaign we’ll post a follow up photo blog with all of the entries that we receive.
Here are a few easy steps to get you started:
- Take a picture of yourself (alone, with your pet, with friends, etc.) holding up a sign with “______ Against Human Trafficking.” Be creative!
- Send your pictures in to info@polarisproject.org by Tuesday, February 14, 2012 and they will be featured on our North Star blog.
In addition to preparing for this photo campaign, be sure to stay tuned to our Twitter and Facebook accounts throughout the day for statistics, tips, and a special giveaway!
To submit a photo, you must be the sole owner of the copyright of any image submitted. Photographers retain the copyright to their photographs. Photographers agree to have their submitted photograph displayed in Polaris Project print and online advertisements, marketing material, and our social network platforms on Facebook, Twitter, and WordPress. Photographers also agree to have their work used without any fee or other form of compensation. Submissions will never be sold by Polaris Project.

Thanks a million Ayan for your post about Human Trafficking Awareness day 2012, i am a social activist and a volunteer in the fight to end human trafficking around the world. By profession i am a writer and a Social media enthusiast. But when i saw that problem every where and plaguing our human race, i get concerned, even i cried when i see the statistics and the videos regarding human trafficking and modern day slavery.
That’s where i have set a goal to raise voice for the issue by using social media and my writing skills as sword. I have written three articles already.
I am real follower of Polaris Project and FreedomNow.org (An Anti Human Trafficking Tool).
We can bring peace to our humanity and i will do it with all the powers i have.
Awareness is the first step towards curing that disease. And i am with you on this day and every single day.
There is still slavery in our world! If anyone thinks it’s gone, think again. People need to be made aware of how people and the most vulnerable amongst us, the children, are still being used and abused through trafficking.
