This platform connects us to text numbers in targeted zip codes associated with sex for work online ads placed by women, many of which are coerced, exploited, and trafficked. We are able to make connections and assess their current needs. By establishing trust, we can invite them to our Hope House where they can obtain resources, referrals, and support to ensure their safety and help them on their journey toward healing and restoration. Despite misconceptions around women in the sex industry, the path that leads these girls to the industry is most often paved with deep and extreme trauma due to sexual and physical abuse, manipulation, addiction, and even trafficking.
