Getting back on track

Dear Esteemed Readers,

Please accept my deepest apologies for the delayed and more infrequent postings in the last month or two. I assure you that the posting will soon becoming more frequent and I am working to ensure that there are no less than 3 posts a week, but hope to soon bring you 5-7 post a week once again shortly.

I have been working on a number of other projects, including preparing research for publication on the use of rape as a weapon of war, other trafficking writings and research, conferences, travel and most of all I have been launching an NGO to support survivors of modern slavery. Bridge to Freedom Foundation, which was founded due to the growing need to bridge gaps that hinders the growth of survivors of modern slavery, Bridge to Freedom Foundation (BTFF), works to enhance and improve the opportunities available to survivors of modern slavery, including sex trafficking, child soldiers and forced labor. The cornerstone of Bridge to Freedom Foundation’s work is found in the support of those who have been victimized by modern slavery, through their personal and professional development.

Best Regards,
Cassandra Clifford
