No one should be treated as a commodity. On World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, we stand with survivors and highlight that prevention starts with awareness: watch for signs, protect children and migrant workers, report suspicious activity, and support survivor services. Small actions like education, safe employment, community vigilance help break the cycle. Together we can restore dignity and freedom. @kishanreddybjp @satishdubeyy @CoalMinistry @CoalIndiaHQ #StopHumanTrafficking #ProtectTheVulnerable
