Streetlight UK exists to:

  • End the violence against women that is inbuilt in prostitution
  • Enable women to leave prostitution and have a fresh start through individualised support
  • Confront men’s choices by educating them on the consequences the women face
  • Influence the public’s perception on women in prostitution
  • Shift the legal burden of the law in England and Wales away from women and onto sex buyers.

Thank you KCM

Your help is an invaluable contribution towards our mission to end sexual exploitation and support some of the most vulnerable in society. Each dream accomplished by a service user is a dream accomplished on our behalf as well, and we would not be able to do this important work were it not for your passion”.
