The DIRECTIVE 2011/36 / EU OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE EUROPEAN COUNCIL, April 5, 2011, “recognizes that human trafficking has a dimension related to gender equality and that, in many cases, women and men are not victims of human trafficking for the same reasons. It is therefore appropriate that assistance and support measures are also, if necessary, adapted to this dimension related to gender equality”.

Objective : To help students who don’t have enough financial resources or material resources, who turn to prostitution to pay for their rent or to pay for their studies and who need access to justice. To create mutual confidence through confidential meals. To develop an upstream prevention of situations of prostitution. To raise public awareness to this situation.

Location of the action : National Campaign. Main focus Cities : PARIS, NANTES (LOIRE-ATLANTIQUE), RENNES (ILLE ET VILLAINE), ANGERS (MAINE ET LOIRE).

Means and resources deployed :

November – December 2015: after a poster campaign, we send out a Team of volunteers of our Association to meet students, who have contacted us, and who are facing a situation of prostitution.
