Our mission is to support and empower women impacted by prostitution and human trafficking for sexual exploitation, raise public awareness of the harms of prostitution and human trafficking and act as an advocate to influence policy that will support and protect women.

P.38 There were several bespoke trainings designed and delivered to target groups including A&E Departments, SafetyNet GPs, My Options and Irish College of Migrant GPs. We also delivered training in partnership with the South Inner-City Drugs & Alcohol Task Force (SICDATF) to explore drug related intimidation as it relates to sexual exploitation.
