OUR MISSION: To offer help and lodging to women victims of sexual trafficking.
Founded in July 2013, La Sortie is a charitable organization working in the health and social services sector in the Montréal area. Its mission is to provide an alternative to the sex industry, offer safe housing, and support women who have experienced sexual exploitation as they work toward social reintegration.
Its "Alternative to the Sex Industry" program offers diversified support and housing for women, primarily aged 16 to 35, who choose to leave the sex industry.
Through the "BienVeillance" prevention program, La Sortie also provides youth aged 12 to 18 with the tools and knowledge necessary to develop healthy and equal relationships, learn to respect their bodies, set boundaries, seek consent, and recognize the tactics of pimps.
Finally, its "BienEntendue" program aims to raise public awareness about the still largely unknown reality of sexual exploitation and promote services needed to help women leave the sex industry.
Guided by the values of love, hope, and freedom, the organization's vision is to be a resource for these women, offering them genuine paths to a new life.
