Our holistic approach gives recognition to the complex lives of the men and
women who are caught up in sex trafficking. Our relationship with them often
begins when they are at crisis point. For men who buy sex, this can mean mental
wellbeing challenges relating to a sense of shame, patterns of behaviour which
do not satisfy but are difficult to leave behind, and the risk of permanent
damage to relationships. And for women living with multiple disadvantages and
therefore extremely vulnerable, they may be homeless, living in poverty, fear
and isolation, sexually exploited to pay for a drug or alcohol addiction they
have been coerced into by a perpetrator, and suffering from trauma.
