The components of the Department of Homeland Security combat human trafficking through a variety of decentralized programs based on unique statutory authorities and institutional histories.

The campaign name is a reference to global anti-human trafficking symbols the Blue Heart and the Blue Blindfold, as well as the "thin blue line" of law enforcement.

Hundreds of thousands of men, women and children are trafficked across international borders each year. Victims are trafficked into the international sex trade and into forced labor situations throughout the world. Many of these victims are lured from their homes with false promises of well-paying jobs; instead, they are forced or coerced into prostitution, domestic servitude, farm or factory labor or other types of forced labor.
