Beyond the Streets has been working alongside and on behalf of women who sell sex for over 20 years. We began with a small number of grassroots projects who became increasingly aware of the urgent need for holistic, national and specialist support for women involved in the UK sex industry.
We work to see women energised by their future and not defined by their past.
We work with women involved in the UK sex industry. We work to see women safe from coercion, violence and abuse.
We collaborate to ensure women are not compelled to sell sex and to create routes out of prostitution by working with others including those with lived experience. Together we work to challenge the stigma that surrounds the sale of sex, to eliminate “survival sex” and more broadly to end violence against women and girls.
