The International Day for the Abolition of Slavery globally is observed annually on December 2 to commemorate the date when the U.S. Congress passed the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution, outlawing slavery globally and the territories it had acquired. The amendment was ratified by the states on December 6, 1865, making it the law of the land. The day is commemorated with special events, activities, and educational programs to remember the millions of people who were enslaved in the U.S. and to raise awareness of current forms of slavery and human trafficking.
