## Resource

As the World Cup kicks off in Kansas City, a new coalition called the WARS Council is mobilizing to fight sex trafficking—without city or event funding. Missouri, already a top trafficking hotspot, is seeing urgent action: 80 gift bags distributed, 55 online victims contacted, and 3 trafficked individuals rescued in just one week. Their drop-in center saw 100+ women and 176 visits. ReHope’s 24/7 shelter, powered by community donations and volunteers, has already taken in 3 survivors. Exodus Cry’s “Freedom Friday” outreach, led by trained volunteers, targets the male buyers drawn to large events. Police are preparing stings, and advocates urge the public to call the National Human Trafficking Hotline if they suspect trafficking—never approach directly.
