The Blue Heart Campaign is a global awareness raising initiative to fight human trafficking and its impact on society.



It seeks to encourage involvement from governments, civil society, the corporate sector and individuals alike, to inspire action and help prevent this heinous crime.



The Blue Heart is increasingly recognized as the international symbol against human trafficking, representing the sadness of those who are trafficked while reminding us of the cold-heartedness of those who buy and sell fellow human beings.



The campaign allows people to show their solidarity with the victims of human trafficking and increasing their visibility by wearing the Blue Heart.



Donations to the Blue Heart Campaign go to the United Nations Voluntary Trust Fund for Victims of Trafficking in Persons, which provides vital assistance and protection to the victims of trafficking through specialized organizations across the globe.
