Mission StatementTo see all women and girls within our society free from sexual exploitation and empowered to make free choices and to live independently.
Aims1. To address the crime of sex trafficking in women and girls by offering support to victims, and engaging in preventative strategies, and secondly;
2. To empower vulnerable women and girls working in prostitution, whether by force, coercion, economic circumstance or lack of opportunities, to make positive, alternative choices, in a way that enhances their self-esteem and allows them to regain their independence.
Objective
Our objective is therefore to provide support services to women and girls who are engaged in any form of work within the sex industry, trafficked or otherwise, offering them holistic forms of exit support in conjunction with harm reduction advice.
Our ValuesCitylight is a Christian organisation, founded upon principles of love, respect and equality for all. Our work is based quite firmly on the premise that prostitution of any kind constitutes a form of violence against women and children, and is inherently exploitative.We advocate a manifesto in accordance with that of the European Women’s Lobby (EWL) and the Coalition Against Trafficking in Women (CATW): To work in prostitution is not a choice one often makes freely, rather, it is chosen for women by their socio-economic constraints, vulnerabilities, impoverishment, the strongholds of sexual abuse, gender inequality, and those men who demand the sale of sex (Manifesto, Joint CATW-EWL Press Conference 2005).
