Organization that provides help to escorts (that's any good)

[N6_in_the_village]

Are there any organized "charitable" or "non-profit" groups active in our area, whose purpose is to help escorts with various problems, such as health, safety, legal, even leaving the profession, that any lady here can recommend?

Perhaps obviously, I'm not asking for myself , but I may have met (or may meet in future) ladies who would find this info useful.

PM if you want, although I think public reply would be good if you are comfortable posting the org name / contact info on the board.

I was thinking the same thing.

Not that there's any harm in providing the name of an org -- but only if she asks for it. If you go any farther than that, you are begging for trouble.

Sex Workers Outreach Program may be her best bet. There's also a church in Lakewood, Bear Valley Church, who's teamed up with the FBI's Innocence Lost Task Force of Bastards (the ones responsible for most of the busts in the area including last month's stings) that appears to have taken a vested interest in sex worker outreach.They have a meeting labeled "Stand Against Trafficking". Not sure what it's all about but there is contact info listed so maybe your friend can call and get the resources she needs. There's not a lot out there but if she put the power of google on it, she may come up with something.

(Search for word "organization" in link. Then may be seen as answer to the above post. Or not.)

Hi Lovely,

Thank you for the info. The SWOP appears to be the type of org I was looking for: "We are a grassroots organization that provides peer support and advocates for the human and labor rights of sex workers ..."

I'm more doubtful about your other suggestion:

I don't think that's the type of "help" most ladies would want (to say the least).

Did you derive this from all your experience as a working girl? You asked for resources and I put the power of Google on it...don't shoot the googler.

There is a daily post on BP, not my my favorite resource, that is called Children of the Night

Umm, , I thought that getting busted wouldn't be considered helpful by ladies such as yourself. But what do I know? It could lead to free room and board in government housing.

Oh, on your question about my experience as a working girl - no such luck, but I hear there's some good opportunities in the "chick with a kick stand" category

The FBI busts people; the church works with the community. In all seriousness, if the gal wanted help she would google something herself.

I don't know about aftercare but I do enjoy contributing to these ladies in giving them a start.
