Philosophy Statement
We understand prostitution/human trafficking as a vicious cycle of violence, incarceration, and addiction. We understand that repeated experiences of violence undermines womens and girls capacities to avoid further victimization. Sexual exploitation distorts the lives of women and girls and destroys families.
Organizational Goals:
- To expose human trafficking/prostitution as violence against women
- To educate the community about the effects of commercial sexual exploitation on women and girls
- To provide supportive services to prostituted women/youth to premit escape from violence and exploitation
- To operate within a culturally appropriate and age and gender-specific context
- To provide transitional and/or permanent housing and rental assistance to our target population
