New Futures Project work with Women and Young People in the Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland area, who are at risk of or who are being sexually exploited. We have extended our services to provide support to women made particularly vulnerable to involvement in sexual exploitation for the first time due to COVID-19 and the subsequent extended lockdowns Leicester has experienced. This includes helping students within the sex work industry as well as vulnerable adults and young people. Including supporting individuals involved in street sex work as well as online sex work (such as only fans).
POW Nottingham Ltd is a non-profit, voluntary organization supporting the rights of sex workers and those at risk of being exploited. POW recognizes and supports the rights of individual sex workers. This includes the right to remain in or leave sex work. POW aims to empower a diverse community, focusing on ending violence and stigma through education, advocacy and peer support.
