Our Vision
We exist to end sex trafficking in the Central Valley.
Our Promise
We restore the victimized, educate our youth to prevent exploitation, and attack the lies that drive demand.
Our History
In 2010, Debbie Johnson founded Without Permission Inc., a faith based non-profit organization in the Central Valley of California. Since then, Without Permission has been working to end sex trafficking through Prevention, Justice, and Restoration. Beginning as a two-person ministry, and growing into a 50+ strong, registered 501(c)3 organization, WP has developed roles for staff and volunteer to serve city and survivor. Through partnerships and task force relationships in local counties, WP has created a local response to the evil of sex trafficking and exploitation.
In September of 2015, Just His House began the journey of survivor restoration as our day center for navigation and restoration. The continued mobilization of the faith community, thousands of citizens and market-place leadership drives the hope of ending the culture of human trafficking in the Central Valley.
OUR SCOPE
The mission is to bring human trafficking education and prevention training to the Central Valley and to provide life restoration to survivors through a Crisis Navigator. The Crisis Navigator program provides trauma-informed mentors to the survivors of sex trafficking/exploitation. The Crisis Navigator team to date has served over 764 survivors of sex trafficking and exploitation in the Central Valley.
Without Permission has developed and presented educational training programs to law enforcement, juvenile probation, social services, school administrators, and emergency medical staff. #NotAPriceTag is our campus education program, developed for prevention/awareness training and taught to students in Stanislaus and San Joaquin County junior high and high schools. Our “Parent Partnership” program helps nurture & support the families who have experienced firsthand the effects of sex trafficking and exploitation. Without Permission has provided training to over 27,000 community members.
Our Team continues to have a desire to disrupt the demand that perpetuates sex trafficking and in 2021 Without Permission partnered with a national organization operating in 22 states. This partnership is a pivotal part of the “I Am Change” Men’s Movement to disrupt demand & end sex trafficking in the Central Valley.
Without Permission continues to collaborate with people in key leadership positions throughout the Central Valley who share her commitment to end sex trafficking. WP was instrumental in developing the “209 Freedom Project” Human Trafficking Task Force along with the Stanislaus County District Attorney, Birgit Fladager. Without Permission has a staff of 11 and more than 100 volunteers that drive the vision annually. Without Permission currently has onsite staff members located at Stanislaus County Juvenile Hall, The Family Justice Center of Stanislaus County and Community Services Agency.
