ATLANTA- Fulton County Commissioner Khadijah Abdur-Rahman of the “Mighty District 6” is inviting the community to attend a forum dedicated to raising the awareness of human trafficking.

On Wednesday, January 30, 2025, the Commissioner will host the 2025 Human Trafficking Forum from 6 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. at the Auburn Research Library, Auditorium located at 101 Auburn Avenue NE, Atlanta, GA 30303.

January is National Human Trafficking Prevention Month. In recognition, Commissioner Abdur-Rahman will be joined by Wellspring Living for this annual forum to educate the public about how to identify and prevent this crime. During a panel discussion, guests will hear how officials are advocating for survivors and working to stop human trafficking throughout Fulton County and the state of Georgia.

“It is a criminal industry that strips individuals of their human dignity and rights, with human traffickers preying upon our most vulnerable citizens,” said Commissioner Abdur-Rahman. “Human trafficking is the fastest growing criminal activity in this country, which is why we do this forum. It is vital to provide an insightful discussion on this critical issue in an effort prevent this crime and save lives.”

Fulton County has long supported efforts to end sex trafficking and support those who have been affected by sex trafficking. In 2022, the Fulton County Board of Commissioners appropriated $500,000 toward community programs to fight human trafficking. The funding was provided to Wellspring Living to help victims of domestic sex trafficking and those at risk with specialized recovery services.

Residents can join the fight against human trafficking by reporting possible cases in Georgia’s 24-hour Human Trafficking Hotline at (866) 363-4842 for more details.
