ALBION – Orleans County Legislator Fred Miller last week presents a proclamation for “National Human Trafficking Prevention Month” to Holli Nenni, left, the commissioner of the Orleans County Department of Social Services; and Cyndi Stumer, the deputy commissioner of the DSS.
The prevention month will be observed in January. The Legislature in a proclamation said that every year, “countless adults and children are exploited by traffickers who prey on vulnerability, leaving lasting scars on victims, families, and communities.”
Combating human trafficking requires a united effort from government agencies, law enforcement, advocacy groups, educators, businesses, faith-based organizations, and all citizens, legislators said.
Legislators urged the community to recognize the signs of trafficking, report suspected cases, and “work together to build a safer, more just world where every individual lives free from exploitation.”
