My Experience working with the women in Prostitution

“ We must have the courage to bet on our dreams,
to take the calculated risk and leave behind forever
the internal forces that hold us down.”

This is spirit with which we work at OYA!

Sold either by their own family, by her husband or her beloved, small dark rooms, heightened bed, a mask of make-up, varied colored clothes, pressure and blasts from the madam\pimp, force, injuries, scars from the clients or boyfriend, lack hygiene, lack of proper food, to work the whole night, complete her household chores in the day, lack of freedom, no choice at all………..
This is the real Life of a ‘Prostitute.

Still there is hope, hidden needs, desires and dreams….
Dream to stand for herself,
Dream to educate her children,
Dream to save her daughter from falling into this profession,
Dream to give her children a normal and respectful life,
Dream to one day come out and live life of her own choice,
Dream that she’ll be heard one Day…..
