MISSSEY works to prevent girls and gender-expansive youth from ever entering circumstances of sexual exploitation and violence. We also support young people who are experiencing exploitation to exit. Once they’ve exited, we partner with youth so that they may avoid re-entering sexually exploitative circumstances and live free of harmful transactional relationships.

Last year we supported over 650 youth who were vulnerable to or experiencing exploitation and we want to do more this year and the next! Please support our expanding services and celebrate our 15th year of service to survivors of sexual exploitation and other forms of sexual violence.

We are grateful to all our supporters and donors and hope you’ll join us as we expand our work this year. Go to misssey.org/donate to get started

This means that we know what the young people we serve are going through because many of us have gone through it too. The work to break the cycle of sexual exploitation and violence is personal for us and we are passionate and focused on healing ourselves and each other. You can learn more about MISSSEY’s dedicated team members, our values and our work on our new website: misssey.org.

We’re excited to introduce MISSSEY’s new digital space for healing and empowerment! Our new website has been reimagined to meet the needs of young people, survivors and advocates seeking help, resources and opportunities to join us in breaking the cycle of exploitation of girls and gender-expansive youth in the Bay Area. You may have also noticed our new branding and logo that pays tribute to MISSSEY’s Black survivor leadership, the centering of Black women and femmes in our history and our dedication to collective healing. We invite you to head to misssey.org to explore the site, share with others and let us know what you think! #survivor #womenhistorymonth #WHM #antitrafficking #sextrafficking #MISSSEY #black #blackfemme #sextraffickingawareness #nonprofit #oakland #California #stoptrafficking #blackstories

Dear colleagues, we invite you for an interview

Greetings!
Thank you very much for understanding the seriousness of the situation in the world and raising such vital topics in our society, especially now.

On December 04, 2021, the conference "Global Crisis: A Time for Truth" took place. It was organized and synchronously translated into 100 languages by volunteers, ordinary people from 180+ countries, who are not indifferent to what is going on in the world, like you.

The exact topic you are covering was also raised at the conference.
We are glad to invite you to watch the conference and participate in the International discussions about the conference “Global Crisis. Time for the Truth” and the information raised there. If you would like to participate just let me know.
Here you can see the timing of the topic of slavery

If you missed it last night the entire episode of Race In America: The conversation NBC Bay Area on the topic of "Missing White Woman Syndrome". We've been working on this special for months with Clayman Institute for Gender Research Stanford University MISSSEY looking at the value of a life and whether race and gender play a role in who we search for and who the media responds to. It's a deep dive meant to educate not divide. I hope you enjoy it.

Mukhar will be joining these phenomenal women who will speak about anti-trafficking laws and policies to support and empower survivors of human trafficking.
