How to Leave the Sex Industry
Are you tired of being in the sex industry and want out? Are you seeking a fresh start, a place to heal, and an opportunity to pursue a new life? We’re here to tell you that there is a way out of your situation, and we are here to help you.
Rescue America exists to rescue, revive and empower the sexually exploited through a 24/7 Rescue hotline and emergency response, and we believe there is a redemptive solution for every survivor who desires to exit the life.
Our Process:
Rescue - Through direct outreach and our 24/7 Rescue hotline (713.322.8000), we connect with survivors ready to exit the life and help facilitate their safe exit alongside trained volunteers.
Revive - Upon exit, survivors are transported to a secure location where their most pressing and practical needs are the first priority: food, water, sleep, and safekeeping.
Empower - Based on individual assessments, survivors then find stabilization and professional support to address their mental, emotional, and spiritual needs, preparing them for long-term placement in partner homes across the US.
Since 2014, Rescue America has helped more than 600 survivors safely exit the life and begin their journeys to new life. No matter what your past has looked like, we have witnessed that healing IS possible and you can live in freedom from exploitation.
We understand that exiting the life can seem overwhelming or scary and that it might be difficult to imagine your life looking any differently. At some point in your life, people may have fed you the lies that “you aren’t made for anything else,” that “you could never accomplish anything else,” that “no one will love you because of your past,” or that “this is all there will ever be for you.”
We are telling you today - these lies they’ve made you believe are not true. They were not true then, they are not true now, and they will never be true.
The TRUTH is that you were made for so much more. You have an inherent value that can never be changed because it was determined by the One who created you, and no man or circumstance could ever change that.
You are not cheap, you are not worthless, you are not too far gone. Your identity is not defined by your past, what’s happened to you or what you’ve done. You are loved, you are worthy, you are strong, you are valued, and you were created for a purpose. The God who created you is a Redeemer, He makes beauty out of ashes, and He can take your life and make it brand new.
No matter what anyone has told you, how they’ve treated you or made you feel, starting over and having a new life is possible!
