the reality

Approximately 62% of trafficking in the EU is for sexual exploitation.

90% of prostituted people in the EU are women and girls. 75% are between the ages of 13 and 25 years old.

Prostitution has a mortality rate 10 to 40 times higher than the average..

Hungary ranks third in Europe for its number of sex trafficking victims. 1 out of every 5 victims of prostitution in the EU is Hungarian.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to open a door of hope to women trapped in sexual exploitation.

We fight for their freedom, walk the road of discipleship with them, and develop resources & systems which sustain life transformation and multiply radical hope.

OUR VISION

Our vision is for every woman impacted by sexual exploitation to encounter true freedom, step into God’s unique purpose for her life, and become a catalyst for hope. That ripples through her family, community, and nation. The exit is not the end, it is the beginning.
