Empower The Fight’s Story
Empower The Fight was launched by a group of professional Kansas City moms who had witnessed severe child exploitation and sex abuse in various areas of their professions and lives. So, they were concerned about the significant gaps in services to at-risk and endangered children and were shocked by the general public’s lack of knowledge of the scale of the problem.
