Who We Are

Project Pearl is on a mission to see women who feel trapped in the sex industry set free from exploitation and able to live independent lives to their full potential.

We provide a home from home support programme for women wanting to leave the sex industry. The women we have supported have told us that they feel trapped and helpless. They often struggle to leave the exploitative situations they find themselves in, feeling that they have no choice but to keep working and living on the streets.

Sadly, there is very limited trauma-informed, specialist support and accommodation for women who want to leave the sex industry and who may also be dealing with addiction and other complex issues. Project Pearl tackles a critical gap in support for women in Greater Manchester seeking to exit the sex industry. We are already serving these women through outreach, drop ins and chaplaincy. We are working to create a home from home sanctuary for women wanting to leave the sex industry.
