“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.”
Beyond the Streets are currently carrying out research to help inform service provision for people selling services off-street or indoors. Research centres on the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. Beyond the Streets would love to hear from you about your support needs and your experiences accessing support and services if you live in Tower Hamlets and sell services (e.g. escorting, out-calls to Tower Hamlets or work in a brothel, parlour or club there).
Beyond the Streets will ensure your confidentiality and privacy, and a £20 Love2Shop voucher will be offered to all interviewees as a thank you for their time.
