We are excited to announce the 2nd installation of our digital training series. The Abolitionist Program 2.0 is available to you today for FREE!

The first version focused on the basics of Human Trafficking: who, what, where, when, why, etc. This version was created with the hopes of getting under the surface and seeing different aspects of trafficking that have maybe not been recognized before, or that are helpful to learn more about. This is why we chose to use the iceberg as our logo. You will notice this on every email and social media post as a reminder that we are starting to look at the bigger picture of Human Trafficking.

Series topics include: Labor Trafficking (Domestic and Global), the Beauty Industry, Human Trafficking Legislation and Legislative Frameworks, Sex Trafficking and Pornography, Survivor Support for Advocates, and Prevention strategies.

It’s August!
