REST: Real Escape from the Sex Trade
February 4, 2018 • Ben Sansburn
REST exists to bring freedom, safety & hope to women and girls exploited by the sex trade. Each year, we provide direct services to hundreds of people exploited by the sex trade in Seattle and the greater King County area. Through our holistic continuum of care (prevention, intervention, and aftercare), we serve those who are at-risk, actively in, and those taking steps towards exiting a life of sexual exploitation. Our desire is to see Washington become hostile to traffickers and to work ourselves out of a job.
