We are part of a collective effort to end prostitution and exploitation in Switzerland and to restore the dignity of all those affected – including those trapped in the system, those who buy sex, and those at risk of doing so. At the same time, we encourage individuals to pursue their true calling.
Our Mission
We are realising our vision through a holistic and comprehensive approach that tackles the root causes of exploitation. To this end, we have established seven key areas to address the issue from various angles: outreach, intervention, safe houses, aftercare and vocational integration, public relations, prevention and social enterprises. In this way, we bring about lasting change and restore the dignity of those affected.
Was wir tun
Dignity Network is expanding its work in brothels (Bonita) to other cities – including in Germany – and is launching an intercultural training and aftercare programme in Switzerland for women leaving prostitution.
Plans are also in place to open a vocational integration school, a beauty salon and a catering service. These initiatives provide practical skills in the fields of beauty, hospitality and culinary arts, whilst also creating safe spaces for stabilisation, personal development and sustainable career prospects.
