DIGNITY offers services to all women who have been or are involved in prostitution, regardless of age, ethnicity or religious faith.
DIGNITY Trafficking programs identify and assist victims of human sex trafficking to safely leave bondage in the sex trade.
DIGNITY also provides a program for people arrested for soliciting to help them understand and appreciate the harm to women that they cause.
The DIGNITY Diversion and Housing programs are secure locations. To protect our staff and clients' safety, we do not publicize our address.
