Project SAFE's mission is to promote human rights-based
public health among women working in prostitution on the
street in Philadelphia. SAFE is an organization dedicated
to ensuring the health, safety and survival of women on
the street by providing advocacy, education and support
using a harm reduction model. SAFE seeks to reduce the
spread of HIV, Hepatitis C and sexually transmitted diseases
(STDs) among working women, promote health and safety
by arming women with relevant information and resources,
and connect women to programs and services which are appropriate
to their needs and interests. We believe in every woman's
right to health and well-being as well as in their competency
to protect and help themselves, their loved ones and their
communities.
Our long-term vision for social justice includes creating
a network of and for women who participate in the sex
industry that promotes self-advocacy concerning health,
legal rights, and public policy.
