Human trafficking isn’t just an urban issue—it’s happening in Montana’s rural communities. From labor trafficking on farms to sex trafficking along highways and in motels, survivors are hidden in plain sight. Learn the warning signs, read survivor stories from Billings and Missoula, see the latest Montana statistics, and discover how you can help. CNADA provides critical advocacy, shelter, and outreach across seven eastern Montana counties—and we need your support to keep survivors safe.

🌿 “What harms the hive, harms the bees.” — Marcus Aurelius

When the government shuts down, it’s not just politics — it’s people. Families lose access to food assistance, survivors face new barriers to safety, and small nonprofits like CNADA become the only safety net left standing.

At CNADA, we’re committed to filling those gaps through our Community Roots Pantry and survivor support programs — because compassion isn’t partisan, and what harms one of us harms us all.

💜 Your Power, Our Purpose.

Why Doesn’t She Just Leave?
Leaving an abusive relationship isn’t easy—especially in rural Eastern Montana. Survivors often face isolation, financial abuse, and limited access to transportation or support. In small communities where everyone knows everyone, asking for help can feel impossible. Add in technology-facilitated abuse like hidden AirTags or phone surveillance, and many survivors feel watched, trapped, and alone.

At CNADA, we understand these challenges and walk beside survivors every step of the way. Read our latest blog to learn why women stay—and how we can all be part of the solution.

In rural Eastern Montana, stalking isn’t a distant threat—it’s often someone you know. In towns with just one grocery store, one school, and limited roads, avoiding a stalker becomes nearly impossible. Survivors tell us, “I see him everywhere.” And too often, their cries for help are met with disbelief or legal barriers that fail to protect them. At CNADA, we see the emotional toll stalking takes and the courage it requires just to get through each day. We're here to listen, to believe, and to fight for stronger protections—because safety should never depend on the size of your town.

Monsters Are Real—And They Live in Our Communities
In rural Eastern Montana, the faces of sexual abuse and assault aren't strangers in dark alleys—they’re neighbors, coaches, family members, and trusted community leaders. Child sexual abuse and assault are devastatingly real and often hidden behind silence, shame, and tight-knit rural relationships. At CNADA, we believe the only way to fight this is by shining a light on it. We must believe survivors, educate our communities, and break the silence.

"Sextortion Isn’t Just an Online Threat—It’s Happening Here in Eastern Montana."
In our small, rural communities, we often feel shielded from the dangers that make headlines elsewhere. But sextortion—a form of online blackmail where victims are threatened into sharing explicit content—is silently targeting teens and adults right here in Eastern Montana. Reports of sextortion have surged, with Montana’s ICAC Task Force receiving over 1,500 cyber tips in just one year.

At CNADA, we’re seeing the heartbreaking impact firsthand. Victims are scared, ashamed, and unsure where to turn. But help is here—and no one has to face it alone.
