“As long as men exercise sexual power...”
Rebekka told the “NZZ” her story — of childhood, prostitution and quitting. Her courage pays off: Her report mercilessly highlights reality and encourages other women to speak up.

Art as a language of the soul
Painting is Dorothée's passion — art connects, touches, heals. Her paintings with gold leaf reflect freedom, courage, love. Once broken herself, she uses art as a voice against suffering, human trafficking and violence.

Protecting lives! Now
A 21-year-old Romanian woman was murdered by a suitor in Switzerland. Instead of giving women safety tips, politicians must act: Prostitution is violence against women — Switzerland must protect their lives.

OUR VISION

empowering
women.
living
freedom.

The world of prostitution is a brutal one.

How often do our hearts grow heavy with pain when women share their stories with us?! And yet, we have hope. Boundless hope! Because over the past two decades, we have seen it again and again: broken hearts find wings.

Women reclaim what is rightfully theirs—security, bold dreams, and a radiant future.It is love that makes this transformation possible. Love empowers women to become free-thinking individuals, capable of making the best decisions for themselves and courageously shaping their own lives.

More than that—love turns those who exit prostitution into beacons of hope. For their families, for former colleagues, and for society.

That is why we love.
Genuinely and unconditionally.
Every single day.
Change is possible.
