KANSAS CITY, KAN. ----- Attorney General Derek Schmidt today announced a statewide billboard campaign to raise awareness and reporting of human trafficking.
Schmidt’s office is partnering with Clear Channel Outdoors and Lamar Advertising to raise awareness of this crime and encourage the public to report suspicious activity to the National Human Trafficking Resource Center (NHTRC) hotline.
The public awareness campaign is aimed at reaching both trafficking victims who may be unaware that resources exist to help them and community members who can help identify suspicious activity.
Clear Channel Outdoors and Lamar Advertising are donating space on several of their digital billboards across the state to promote the NHTRC hotline. Clear Channel Outdoors and Lamar also are leveraging traditional (printed) billboards and posters in the campaign to target the audiences and deliver the messages with high frequency.
