“As long as men exercise sexual power...”

Rebekka thought for a long time when a journalist from the “NZZ” asked Heartwings whether she could write down her story. First of all out of skepticism towards all people, but also because she did not think that her life story would matter to others. In long conversations — emotionally exhausting for Rebekka — she told the journalist about her childhood, about her life in prostitution, about her exit and about how she was doing today. Her courage has paid off: The “NZZ” reports in an impressive and merciless way on several pages about what Rebekka has said.

“As long as men exercise sexual power and society accepts violence against women, women will die in prostitution,” is one of her quotes in the newspaper.

Thank you Rebekah for your strength, courage, and heart! We are certain that your voice makes a difference and brings change. And last but not least, your courage also encourages other women to talk about the reality of prostitution.
