Human Trafficking Awareness Month and Training Opportunities

The City of Phoenix Strategic Initiatives team invites you to join us in raising awareness of human trafficking. Every January, the City of Phoenix recognizes National Human Trafficking Prevention Month to bring attention to a serious issue that impacts all our communities.

In 2013, the Mayor and City Council created the Mayor's Human Trafficking Task Force to establish Phoenix as a national leader in addressing and combating human trafficking. From the task force came a roadmap called The Compass Plan, which outlines strategic and operational actions to approach the problem through law enforcement, victim services, training, awareness and outreach.

All month, City Hall will be illuminated in blue to recognize National Human Trafficking Prevention Month. There are several opportunities this month to learn about human trafficking in our communities, get involved, and show your support for survivors.

Below are some virtual opportunities to learn more and get resources.
