*Human trafficking is a multibillion-dollar criminal industry that denies freedom to 24.9 million people.

This is happening in our community - Kansas City is one of the top sex trafficking cities in the country because I-35 and I-70 provide easy access to move victims.

MPI Kansas City, along with MPI Global and the MPI Anti-Human Trafficking Committee, is committed to raising awareness and joining the fight to end all forms of human trafficking. As Meeting Professionals, we have the responsibility to be vigilant in ensuring that our events are safe for all attendees, guests and bystanders. For more information and resources from MPI Global please visit MPI's Global AHT Page and check out MPI's Anti-Human Trafficking Policy.

In conjunction with offering our own AHT education and community resources, MPI KC is proud to partner with ReHope, a local organization that provides housing, treatment, and lifelong sustainment services for women and children victims of human trafficking. They provide survivors with individual attention and focused programming that promotes sustainable healing and ongoing support.
