IMG_2588 2 (1)Southwest Airlines announced a new effort to address human trafficking timed to coincide with the seventh observance of the United Nations’ World Day Against Trafficking in Persons.

The airline is introducing on Tuesday new online training that will teach employees how to identify and report human trafficking.

“We are proud to offer Human Trafficking awareness curriculum to the entire Southwest Team so that we can continue our efforts to identify any signs of Human Trafficking that might occur within our industry,” said the airline’s CEO, Gary Kelly.

In 2013, the U.N. member states adopted a resolution designating July 30 as World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, stating it was necessary to “raise awareness of the situation of victims of human trafficking and for the promotion and protection of their rights.”
