As a prelude to National Cyber Security Awareness Month, Governor Perdue joins Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton in recognizing the inaugural WALK to Stop Child Trafficking Now, which takes place Sunday, September 27, 2009. Child trafficking occurs all over the world, including in our own country, and much of the preying on children is initiated over the Internet. Stop Child Trafficking Now (SCTN) seeks to create awareness of this problem, and the walk on Sunday will help raise money for their cause. Walks are planned in approximately 40 cities nationwide, including several in North Carolina.
October is also State Cyber Security Awareness Month.
