2026 Empowering Our Community Anti-Trafficking Conference

Human trafficking, including sex and labor trafficking, remains a significant issue in Missouri, where traffickers exploit vulnerable individuals.  Individuals facing poverty, homelessness, substance use disorders, mental health challenges, immigration barriers, or prior trauma are at heightened risk of exploitation.

Combating human trafficking requires a coordinated, multi-sector approach involving law enforcement, healthcare professionals, social service agencies, educators, policymakers, and community members working together to prevent exploitation, identify victims, provide comprehensive support services, and hold traffickers and buyers accountable through investigation and prosecution.  A targeted, collaborative response is essential to effectively address human trafficking in our communities and across our state.
