National Inner Beauty Day is not only a day on which people are encouraged to love themselves for their inner beauty, but it is also a day to raise awareness about people who fall victim to human trafficking—sometimes when they are only in search of a better life for themselves.

This day is observed annually on October 7th and has been observed since 2017. It is a day to learn more about human trafficking and what can be done to prevent it.

The History of National Inner Beauty Day

This day was first created in 2016 by Roma Newton, the owner of 6-Degrees Management. This holiday has been observed in partnership with an organization that helps victims of human trafficking called Saving Innocence in the past.
