Proclamation 10331 of December 30, 2021
National Human Trafficking Prevention Month, 2022
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
Human trafficking--whether in the form of forced labor,
sex trafficking, or other offenses--is an abhorrent
abuse of power and a profoundly immoral crime that
strikes at the safety, health, and dignity of millions
of people worldwide. During National Human Trafficking
Prevention Month, we reaffirm our commitment to protect
and empower survivors of all forms of human
trafficking, to prosecute traffickers, and to bring an
end to human trafficking in the United States and
around the world.
My Administration is committed to stopping human
trafficking wherever it occurs. This month, we released
the updated National Action Plan to Combat Human
Trafficking--a whole-of-government approach to
combating human trafficking in the United States and
abroad. The plan links anti-trafficking initiatives to
our wider efforts to counter illicit financing; advance
gender and racial equity; expand the rights and dignity
of working people; and promote safe, orderly, and
humane migration.
My Administration is also dedicated to ensuring that
our justice system holds accountable any individuals or
entities engaged in this horrendous crime--and that our
domestic and global economic systems offer no safe
harbor to forced labor or other abuses. In addition to
helping survivors on their road to recovery, we must
also learn from their expertise in order to better
detect trafficking crimes that are often hidden in
plain sight, bring perpetrators to justice, and improve
our prevention efforts. Since human trafficking
disproportionately impacts racial and ethnic
minorities, women and girls, LGBTQI+ individuals,
vulnerable migrants, and other historically
marginalized and underserved communities, our mission
to combat human trafficking must always be connected to
our broader efforts to advance equity and justice
across our society.
During National Human Trafficking Prevention Month, let
us resolve to counter injustice and fortify our
commitment to pursue dignity and freedom for all
people. The National Human Trafficking Hotline (1-888-
373-7888) is an important resource to report a tip or
ask for help.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of
the United States of America, by virtue of the
authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws
of the United States, do hereby proclaim January 2022
as National Human Trafficking Prevention Month. I call
upon businesses, civil society organizations,
communities of faith, families, and all Americans to
recognize the vital role we play in combating human
trafficking, and to observe this month with appropriate
programs and activities aimed at preventing all forms
of human trafficking.

United States of America the two hundred and forty-
sixth.
