They want to abolish the system of prostitution by championing the human rights of prostituted people through their advocacy for the enactment of the Abolitionist Equality Model, Public Education and Exit programmes.Their programmes are based on the Nordic / Abolition model of human rights that addresses violence against women and gender equality. This model criminalises those who purchase sexual services and decriminalises those who are exploited for prostitution, but also offers prostituted people support to increase their options and to be able to choose to exit.
