Public Awareness refers to the level of knowledge and understanding that individuals and communities have about a particular issue or topic. Public awareness can be an important tool for promoting social change, as it can help to mobilize people to take action and support efforts to address issues such as human trafficking.

Efforts to raise awareness about trafficking may include public education campaigns, media coverage, and advocacy efforts. By raising awareness about the prevalence and impacts of trafficking, individuals can better understand how they can take action to support victims and prevent trafficking from occurring in their communities.
