Community Impact

---

From the suburbs to the inner city, human trafficking is a community issue. It's an issue that impacts all socioeconomic backgrounds, demographics, and regions. While there are many areas of need, no one organization can do it all so we focus on what we can do to make the largest impact in the Milwaukee region and beyond.

Our Impact in 2019

Exploit No More provides training and prevention education, legislative advocacy and crisis help, and aftercare resources and support for victims and survivors. In our time as an organization, there has been significant strides toward each mission objective.
