FACING THE FRONT LINES FOR FREEDOM

  • Missouri ranks 4th in the nation per capita for human trafficking.

  • An estimated 24,000 women are bought and sold through Missouri each year.

  • 65% of survivors seeking services in Missouri are between ages 12 and 25.

  • An estimated 1% of these women are ever found. That's why we don't wait for them to come to us. We go to them.

OUR MISSION

Magnolia’s mission is to empower our community through education surrounding human trafficking and exploitation while walking alongside survivors as they find safety, healing, and freedom.

OUR VISION

Magnolia envisions a community where trafficking and exploitation no longer exist and survivors flourish. We believe in cultivating a culture that eliminates the demand for exploitation and creates pathways for survivors to thrive through restoration. Inspired by the life of Jesus, we hope to demonstrate His unconditional love by affirming the dignity and value of every person.

METHOD

    Prevention

    We intervene early, educating youth and identifying women in the midst of exploitation before trafficking begins. As certified facilitators across healthcare, law enforcement, hotels, and schools, we have educated over 1,000 individuals in Central Missouri and envision a community where traffickers find no foothold and every person is empowered to recognize signs of trafficking.

    Intervention

    We face the frontlines for freedom. We don’t wait for women to find us, we go to them. Using advanced technology and proven outreach strategies, we are able to locate women and build genuine, lasting relationships with them while in the midst of trafficking and exploitation. We meet them where they are, offering compassionate counseling, practical support, and an unwavering community where healing can begin.
