The Not For Sale Campaign and Oakland, California-based partner MISSSEY invite you to join us at our first Innovative Aftercare Training from July 27th to July 31st in San Francisco.
This intensive, one-week program offers participants training on the best practices of how to work with and for victims and survivors of human trafficking right here in the United States. With a particular focus on sexual exploitation, the training will delve into case management, court advocacy, comprehensive data reporting, needed systematic changes, as well as education and awareness projects.
{ Training will be conducted by MISSSEY Executive Director and anti-trafficking thought-leader Nola Brantley. }
If you have a heart to care for those who have been victims of modern day slavery, the Innovative Aftercare Training will give you the tools and instruction you need to become “smart activists” on their behalf.
The Why:
United States law declares that the commercial sexual exploitation of children is defined as human trafficking. According to a December 2007 US Justice Department report:
Much investigation remains to be done regarding the commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC). As with other “low visibility” crimes, there is a lurking “dark figure” of unreported cases. Moreover, little reliable information exists about the types of people who exploit children in this way.
Research has revealed that CSEC takes place at three levels: local exploitation by one or a few individuals, small regional networks involving multiple adults and children, and large national or international sex crime networks where children are traded and sold as commodities.

To effectively combat human trafficking as a cohesive movement we need to continuously evaluate and urge policy reform so we can better serve and protect human trafficking victims. To do this we have partnered with other leading abolitionist groups across the country; together comprising the Action Group to End Human Trafficking and Modern-Day Slavery. Over the past year the Action Group has endeavored to create a transitions report for the next presidential administration. In this document we outline our specific recommendations for President Elect Obama as well as suggestions for each Governmental agency working to combat this issue.
