World Day Against Trafficking in Persons: Why Awareness is Your Best Defense Against Exploitation

Every July 30, India observes World Day Against Trafficking in Persons. This United Nations day focuses on ending modern slavery. Schools use this time for awareness drives and campus assemblies. It helps students identify risks and protect their peers from harm. Knowledge is the best tool to stop this global crime. Awareness creates a powerful shield against complex exploitation schemes.
