The Safer Wales' StreetLife project has been operating in Cardiff since 2005 and has transformed the lives of many women impacted by sex work and victims and survivors of sexual exploitation.
Many clients who access the project suffer with poor physical, mental and sexual health and struggle with unresolved issues related to historic child sex abuse or family breakdown/being in care. They are entrenched in high risk behaviours, lack confidence and are reluctant to engage with mainstream services.
We believe that women who are exploited through prostitution have the right to be safe and are able to access appropriate support. We work to enhance safety and increase well being through a collaborative human rights and harm reduction approach.
The main purpose of the evening outreach support assistant is to support staff to reach out and engage with clients; providing emotional and practical support as well as motivational support for longer term engagement.
