Snowy conditions are expected to continue into Tuesday. Commercial sexual exploitation CSE services are survivor-centered, Kim and Forsyth explained, so survivors lead their journey and make decisions voluntarily. Efforts are made to make sure the services do not retraumatize survivors. We have fully autonomous sex workers. Money is also being spent on shelter and housing, outreach and education, a hour hotline, and therapeutic and medical advocacy.
The work goes beyond the highly visible street walkers on Aurora Avenue and includes people who are being trafficked in massage parlors or through online ads. The city collaborates with various community groups to provide this assistance, including Real Escape from the Sex Trade, Organization for Prostitution Survivors, Aurora Commons, the S. The city also offers a sex buyer's diversion program. A lot of the advocates and their programs have wait lists for services," Forsyth said.
Council members asked about how they are measuring progress, but the presenters said that this was intended to be a high-level overview and that success rates would be provided in follow-up meetings.
Still, the Human Services director acknowledged that the work is slow. There is money budgeted this year to open some kind of emergency housing facility for sex workers who need help at that moment to escape the person who is exploiting them. The plan is to set up what is being called an emergency receiving center, where a person can work to transition into more supportive housing and receive job training.
