SJR3,1,2
1
Relating to:
proclaiming January 2025 as Human Trafficking Awareness and
2
Prevention Month in the state of Wisconsin.
SJR3,1,5
3
Whereas, human trafficking occurs when a person is recruited, harbored,
4
obtained, or transported through force, fraud, or coercion for the purpose of sexual
5
exploitation, commercial sex acts, or labor exploitation; and
SJR3,1,10
6
Whereas, human traffickers disproportionately target at-risk populations,
7
including individuals who have experienced or been exposed to other violence, such
8
as child abuse and maltreatment and community violence, and those who are
9
disconnected from support networks, such as runaway and homeless youth,
10
unaccompanied minors, and persons displaced by natural disasters; and
SJR3,1,12
11
Whereas, since 2007, more than 100,000 total cases of human trafficking have
12
been reported to the National Human Trafficking Hotline; and
SJR3,1,14
13
Whereas, the average age a trafficking victim enters the sex trade in the
14
United States is between 12 and 15 years old; and
SJR3,2,3
1
Whereas, in 2023, an estimated one-out-of-six endangered runaways reported
2
to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children were likely child sex
3
trafficking victims; and
SJR3,2,7
4
Whereas, a 2024 U.S. Department of State report found that advocates
5
reported a growing trend of traffickers targeting individuals with disabilities and
6
an increase in the use of social media platforms to recruit and advertise victims of
7
human trafficking; and
SJR3,2,9
8
Whereas, human trafficking has been reported in all 72 counties in this state,
9
and it is a crime found in rural, urban, and suburban communities; and
SJR3,2,12
10
Whereas, human trafficking is modern-day slavery, a practice that is in direct
11
opposition to the fundamental principles of liberty and human rights upon which
12
our nation was founded; and
SJR3,2,16
13
Whereas, many nonprofit organizations are working to raise awareness and
14
combat human trafficking while collaborating with law enforcement to provide
15
critical resources to victims, including safe housing, health care, counseling, job
16
training, rehabilitation, clothing, personal care items, and hope; and
SJR3,2,19
17
Whereas, to combat human trafficking in our state, our citizens must be aware
18
of the realities of human trafficking, educated to recognize victims of human
19
trafficking, and dedicated to stopping it; and
SJR3,2,22
20
Whereas, a resolution passed by the U.S. Senate on June 22, 2007, has forever
21
marked January 11 as a day of awareness and vigilance for the countless victims
22
and survivors of human trafficking around the world; and
SJR3,3,2
23
Whereas, Wisconsin has zero tolerance for human trafficking, and eliminating
1
human trafficking is a goal shared by all Americans who believe in freedom and
2
liberty for all people; now, therefore, be it
SJR3,3,5
3
Resolved by the
senate
, the
assembly
concurring, That
the members of
4
the Wisconsin Legislature proclaim January 2025 as Human Trafficking
5
