is a safe space: • For anyone (e.g. entertainment workers, street children, transgender and sex buyers) knowing they will be treated with dignity and respected as people with inherent value.
From which different NGOs can reach out to people (e.g. entertainment workers, street kids, transgender and sex buyers) in the local community.
Where people can learn about the issues around sexual exploitation – both the demand and supply side. • For those from faith communities to pray and worship.
