Project Respect

Description

Project Respect is a non-profit community-based organisation that aims to empower and support women in the sex industry, including women trafficked to Australia.

Established in 1998 we began a direct service conducting outreach and offer support to women in the sex industry across Victoria.

Our mission is to support women in the sex industry of Australia and to help prevent the exploitation and enslavement of women, by the industry.

We aim to see this fulfilled through:
• Empowerment
• Advocacy
• Education
• Activism

Our vision is for a world where there is no longer demand for
prostitution and people trafficking.

Project Respect works towards:
• Adequate support given to women in the sex industry, including trafficked women, such as access to shelter, health care, legal support, compensation and alternative employment pathways.
• Eradication of abuse and inequalities, including between men and women, different cultures and different classes, which underpin and are strengthened by the sex industry.
• Individuals, organisations and communities informed and mobilised to support women in the sex industry
