Fact Sheet: DHS Blue Campaign to Combat Human Trafficking

“Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Janet Napolitano today launched the “Blue Campaign”—a DHS-wide initiative to combat human trafficking through enhanced public awareness, victim assistance programs, and law enforcement training and initiatives. The Blue Campaign encompasses a wide range of anti-trafficking programs designed to engage the American and global public, the Department’s federal, state, local and tribal law enforcement partners, nonprofit and nongovernmental organizations, and governments around the world. The Blue Campaign’s name and symbol were chosen by the Department to evoke national and international efforts to combat human trafficking with reference to the “thin blue line” of law enforcement, as well as the global anti-human trafficking symbols the Blue Blindfold, produced by the United Kingdom Human Trafficking Center, and the Blue Heart, developed by the United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime, to help raise international awareness about this issue.”
