Recognizing the Power of Partnership
Blue Campaign continues to be the forefront of the nation’s efforts to combat human trafficking. Our mission is rooted in two foundational goals: preventing human trafficking and protecting exploited persons.
At the heart of this mission lies a powerful truth: we are stronger together. Through strategic partnerships with the private sector, nongovernmental organizations, law enforcement, and state and local authorities, we maximize national public engagement on anti-human trafficking efforts.
We also collaborate with partners to develop and distribute resources, deliver essential trainings, and raise national awareness in almost 40 different languages so that individuals and communities are prepared to recognize and respond to human trafficking. Learn more about our key partnerships:
