Project Respect is a support and referral service for women who have experienced trafficking for sexual exploitation and women in the sex industry. We assist women one-on-one, create a safe community and advocate for women’s rights. We exist because women matter. We are a non-profit, feminist, community-based organisation. Project Respect believes that every woman who is has experienced trafficking for sexual exploitation or is part of the sex industry has the right to feel safe and respected, regardless of her views or circumstances. We understand that each woman experiences the industry differently. She could find it empowering, or deeply harmful, or somewhere in between. Our work is fundamentally about human rights - so we want to see an end to human trafficking for sexual exploitation. But we also want to see an end to situations where women feel they have no choice but to enter the sex industry. No choice but to put up with disrespectful clients. And no way to access the support they need, if they ever do want to leave. At Project Respect, we exist for the women who seek and need our support, without judgement.
