Hawley announces release of videos to help fight human trafficking

Missouri Attorney General Josh Hawley announced on Tuesday that officials released anti-trafficking training videos.

Hawley said the videos are a key component of the Business Council Against Human Trafficking.

ABC17 previously reported that in October a coalition was formed of Missouri businesses committed to fighting human trafficking in the state.

The council’s primary focus is increasing the availability of training about human trafficking, especially for workers in industries most likely to encounter trafficking situations.

Hawley said membership is open to all Missouri businesses, regardless of size.

“This council allows Missouri’s businesses to lead on one of the most important issues facing our state today,” Hawley said. “We must all work together if we hope to rid Missouri of this modern-day slavery.”
