In 2025, the United Nations passed a resolution designating July 30 as World Day against Trafficking in Persons to raise awareness about the growing issue of human trafficking and the protection of victims and their rights.
BOSS takes a holistic approach to tackle the root causes of trafficking and involves children in the design and implementation of solutions.
Working alongside communities and local and national governments Save the Children supports:
Preventing trafficking at the community level by creating awareness of the risks of migration
Providing support to children who have been trafficked and help them return home and reintegrate into their communities
Improving law enforcement and instigate legal reform to protect survivors of trafficking.
By supporting livelihoods, we help families avoid the need for their children to work. By raising awareness of trafficking, we reduce the number of children being trafficked. By helping rehabilitate survivors, we empower them to rebuild their lives. By protecting unaccompanied refugee children, we keep them from the clutches of traffickers.
