Everyone Deserves to Feel Cared For

Since 2014, Safe Exit Initiative (SEI) has supported individuals with histories of commercial sexual exploitation through specialized programming and advocacy efforts that address the need for systemic change.

Our survivor-driven programs are created by subject matter experts who know the realities of the sex trade firsthand. Guided by care and respect, SEI staff and community partners provide essential resources and daily community connections that create spaces of safety and support for individuals impacted by the sex trade.

Our services reach individuals living at the intersection of multiple vulnerabilities, including homelessness, substance use and mental health disorders, food insecurity, child welfare involvement, and incarceration. While services and legal protections may be available to address these needs, they are often not accessible due to barriers such as conditional eligibility requirements, cost, documentation demands, and punitive or exclusionary systems. Through our work, we bridge this gap by interrupting cycles of harm and creating practical, low-barrier pathways to health, safety, self-sufficiency, and sustained healing.
