La Sortie

La Sortie is committed to accompanying women survivors and victims of sexual exploitation by offering them an alternative to the sex industry as well as safe housing. La Sortie's mission is structured around three objectives: to offer an intervention and housing service focused on social reintegration; to offer prevention activities to people at risk of sexual exploitation; and to offer awareness-raising activities to the population in relation to the reality of sexual exploitation.
