Beyond the Streets

Beyond the Streets is a UK charity working to raise awareness of the sex industry and survival sex, challenge the societal norms that perpetuate harm, and transform responses by providing direct support, shaping policy, and equipping others to take action. Women need to be respected and empowered to identify their own needs and devise their own strategies. We believe that change becomes sustainable when a person is empowered. We offer a safe space to be heard, and help women make a practical plan of bite size and achievable steps to realise her future. Reliable information and support is key for someone who is involved in selling sex. We journey with women to understand their situation and the choices available to them. We are there for women as they take practical and manageable steps that lead to a genuine route out of exploitation. Our services have been shaped by women with lived experience and we continue to consult with our service users.
