At the centre of our work is direct contact with women in the sex industry including women who have been trafficked into Australia for prostitution. We use a strengths-based model, promoting respect for all women.

Our work includes:

• Outreach to brothels in Victoria, holistic support and individual counselling
• Referrals and information regarding services for health, housing, the law, child custody, domestic violence, drug and alcohol, and other issues
• Emergency accommodation and ongoing support for women who have been trafficked
• Support for education and alternative employment pathways
• Community development activities, including weekends away and advocacy training
• Raising awareness within the community to help people understand the issues facing women in the sex industry
• Specialised training to community organisations such as health centres, government agencies including the police
• Advocacy to all levels of government – Federal, State and local
