A study of prostituted women in 9 countries, by @ProstitutionRes, revealed that 89% wanted to escape but did not have other options for survival. Our research and experience working with prostituted women over the past decade has confirmed this. Prostitution is not empowering.

A community came together to work for Cyntoia’s early release – no one did more work on this than Cyntoia, herself. We celebrate her release and believe in restorative justice for her and other’s like her still struggling to find restoration.

What's the difference between a woman trafficked into prostitution and one driven into it by circumstances? @RachelRMoran, a survivor of prostitution and outspoken abolitionist, has insight to share on this. The way we understand the plight of prostituted women is crucial.
