CAST CEO Kay Buck Shares Hope for the Human Trafficking Epidemic on Winn Claybaugh's MASTERS Podcast

RIVERDALE, Utah - Jan. 20, 2026 - PRLog -- Fueled by her passion for justice, Kay Buck has over 25 years of experience leading anti-trafficking initiatives in the United States and abroad. Joining the Los Angeles-based Coalition to Abolish Slavery & Trafficking (Cast) in 2003, Kay leads one of the longest-running anti-trafficking organizations in the United States, serving thousands of human trafficking survivors and their families with comprehensive care to rebuild their lives.

Kay is responsible for opening the first shelter for trafficked women in the country and leading a team of compassionate, culturally diverse staff who provide comprehensive care to nearly 1,300 victims and families annually, including emergency response, housing, case management, and legal services. In 2004, Kay created Cast's one-of-a-kind survivor leadership program, which empowers and trains survivors across the country who are ready to use their voices to inform public policy and social change, resulting in better laws to combat human trafficking, a National Survivor Network, and several publications.

Under Kay's leadership, Cast was the first organization to receive the Presidential Award to Combat Slavery and Trafficking (2014). Kay was recognized by the California Women's Foundation as a Change Maker alongside Hillary Clinton and named the #1 Los Angeles Visionary by C-Suite Quarterly in 2017. As an immigrant, Kay received the 2018 Ellis Island Award for her contributions in elevating immigrants' contributions to the country.
