Live Virtual Conference: Empowering Our Community Anti-Human Trafficking Conference, November 7
Human trafficking is a significant issue in Missouri. Traffickers target individuals who are vulnerable due to factors such as poverty, homelessness, substance abuse, mental health issues, immigration status, or previous experiences of trauma.
Missouri’s central location in the United States makes it a transit hub for human trafficking networks. Human trafficking is often underreported due to fear, shame, language barriers, mistrust of authorities, and lack of awareness among potential victims and the general public.
Efforts to combat trafficking require a multi-sectoral approach involving law enforcement, healthcare professionals, social service agencies, policymakers, and community members working together to prevent exploitation, identify victims, and provide comprehensive support services.
With increased awareness and skills, stakeholders will tailor prevention strategies, outreach efforts, and victim centered services to address the diverse needs of individuals affected by human trafficking in Missouri.
