The Issue
Trafficking & Exploitation in Missouri
What we mean by “trafficking & exploitation”
Trafficking and exploitation occur when someone uses force, fraud, or coercion to control another person for sex or labor—or targets minors for sexual exploitation. It can look like a romantic partner who turns controlling and abusive, a boss withholding pay and documents, or online grooming that moves offline. It happens in every region of Missouri and across all communities.
