ATTEST: FLAGLER COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ____________________________ ___________________________ Tom Bexley, Donald O’Brien Jr Clerk and Circuit Court Comptroller Chair A PROCLAMATION OF THE FLAGLER COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS RECOGNIZING THE MONTH OF JANUARY 2021 AS HUMAN TRAFFICKING AWARENESS MONTH WHEREAS, human trafficking is the recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, or obtaining of a person for labor or services, through the use of force, fraud, or coercion for the purpose of forced labor or sexual servitude; and WHEREAS, human trafficking is a 32-billion dollar a year global criminal enterprise and is a crime as well as a civil and human rights violation; and an estimated 25 million people are currently victims of human trafficking for both sex and labor; and WHEREAS, Human traffickers prey on their victims by promising a life of hope and greater opportunity, while delivering only enslavement. Instead of delivering people to better lives, traffickers unjustifiably profit from the labor and toil of their victims, who they force — through violence and intimidation — to work in brothels and factories, on farms and fishing vessels, in private homes, and in countless industries; and WHEREAS, January is National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month, we commit ourselves to eradicating the evil of enslavement. Human trafficking is a modern form of the oldest and most barbaric type of exploitation and we proclaim it has no place in world, great Nation or our city; and WHEREAS, this month we do not simply reflect on this appalling reality. We also pledge to do all in our power to end the horrific practice of human trafficking that plagues innocent victims not only around the world, but in our own neighborhoods; and WHEREAS, more awareness and education is crucial to eradicating human trafficking in our communities, state and nation; and WHEREAS, Flagler County Advocates Alliance (comprised of Flagler County Sheriff’s Office Victim’s Advocates, Flagler Beach Police Department Victim Advocate, State Attorney’s Victim Advocate Seventh Judicial Circuit Flagler, and Family Life Center) are working together to increase public understanding of this problem and mobilize community efforts to end Human Trafficking.
