~ As the United States celebrates its cherished inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, one of the greatest threats to these rights continues to be human trafficking. According to recent estimates, approximately 25 million people are impacted by this modern form of slavery each year.

Human trafficking is characterized by sexual exploitation or forced labor and is a grave violation of basic human rights. It is a complex issue that requires a collective effort to end it. In order to do so, it is crucial for individuals to understand the warning signs, recognize the urgent need for action, and support ongoing rescue efforts.

Law enforcement agencies and private organizations are working together with statewide entities to carry out prevention initiatives, protect vulnerable populations, and bring traffickers to justice. While there has been significant progress made through these efforts, there is still much work that needs to be done in order to eradicate human trafficking once and for all.

He urges all Texans to educate themselves about the dangers and indicators of human trafficking and take action towards eliminating this scourge from society.

In his proclamation, Governor Abbott emphasizes the need for appropriate ceremonies and activities during this month in order to observe its significance. With his signature on December 13th, 2024, he reaffirms his commitment towards ending human trafficking in Texas.

The Governor's proclamation serves as a reminder that ending human trafficking is not just a responsibility of law enforcement or government agencies but also requires individual action from every member of society.
