The following text in italics is from the website:
Project Respect is a non-profit community-based organisation that aims to empower and support women in the sex industry including women trafficked to Australia.
Established in 1998 we began as a direct service conducting outreach and offering support to women in the sex industry across Victoria.
Project Respect works towards:
- Adequate support given to women in the sex industry, including trafficked women, such as access to shelter, health care, legal support, compensation, and alternative employment pathways
- Eradication of the abuse and inequalities, including between men and women, different cultures and different classes, which underpin and are strengthened by the sex industry
- Individuals, organisations and communities informed and mobilised to support women in the sex industry
You can make a difference with Project Respect by:
- Donations
- Volunteering
- Joining a campaign
- Staying informed
- Joining a network
Project Respect at times needs volunteers for various activities, including administration, research, fundraising, organising courses, English classes, translation, etc.
