A survivor who was in prostitution for 19 years from when she was 18 says prostitution: “has this way of stealing all the dreams, goals and beautiful essence out of a woman. During my years in it, I didn’t meet one woman who enjoyed what she was doing. Everyone was trying to get out.”

I am strong and am an overcomer. I think sometimes people just see survivors as weak or damaged, and don’t see the beauty in our scars. — ANDREA, SURVIVOR AND ADVOCATE

I always ask our survivors what would have made it easier for them to leave. So often I hear, ‘If I knew I had somewhere to stay where he couldn’t hurt me so that I didn’t have to sleep on the street.’ — JAYNE, ANTI-TRAFFICKING ADVOCATE
