Bringing Our Valley Hope and Elizabeth Anne’s Haven–central Colorado’s volunteer organizations addressing human trafficking–are joining with a number of federal agencies, technical assistance centers and advocacy and education organizations this month to focus on the importance of a holistic approach to preventing trafficking. On Saturday January 11th from 10 a.m. to noon, Bringing Our Valley Hope (BV Hope) will host an awareness training program in the Tolkien Room at 405 E. St. Salida, CO 81201. "This event is about 90 minutes and is a great opportunity for the community to learn about the myths vs. realities of human trafficking, both locally and nationally. Preventing human trafficking starts with education and the participants will learn what they can do to make a difference," said John DiGirolamo, president of BVHope. Also known as #WearBlueDay, the 11th is the nationwide observance day for Human Trafficking Prevention Month.  Those concerned about human trafficking are encouraged to wear blue, take a photo wearing blue and share it on social media with the hashtag #WearBlueDay. The theme for Human Trafficking Prevention Month 2025 is “Connecting the Dots. Strengthening Communities, Preventing Trafficking” and highlights the importance of a holistic approach to preventing human trafficking, recognizing its intersection with other forms of violence and social issues. According to the U.S. Administration for Children and Families, the theme highlights that connecting the dots between human trafficking, online harassment and abuse, interpersonal violence, and other forms of violence can disrupt multiple forms of exploitation. Understanding the role of economic mobility, desires for connection, technology, and market dynamics can prevent some of the most predictable recruitment schemes into human trafficking. Building healthy relationships and strengthening the resilience of communities and industries can protect against vulnerabilities to human trafficking.
