About this project
PX Sozialwerk gGmbH from PX Sozialwerk gGmbH is responsible for this project
Since 2015, the diaconal PX Sozialwerk has been reaching out to and supporting women* in poverty prostitution across the Rhine-Main region. At the heart of our work are low-threshold, person-centered services that empower our clients to lead self-determined lives. Our mission is to foster empowerment, integration, and social participation.
Every day, we witness the multiple layers of discrimination faced by the women* we work with. Many have little or no formal education, speak little German, lack access to healthcare, and often come from precarious or abusive backgrounds. They are frequently excluded from systems of support and struggle to gain a foothold in German society.
Our comprehensive support services are designed to meet women* exactly where they are – and include:
- Outreach Work: We visit women* directly at their workplaces to build trust and offer support in a familiar environment.
- Drop-In Center: Open during the week, this safe space provides clothing, warm meals, a place to rest, and a sense of community.
- Social Work Support: We help with applications, refer to further services, offer crisis support, and assist in exploring alternative income opportunities – if that is what they want.
- Low-threshold Education & Transition Programs: For those who wish to leave prostitution, we offer practical training and guidance for (re)entering the workforce.
A significant portion of our work is funded by project grants from various social lotteries. However, we face monthly costs that are not covered by these sources. That’s why we urgently rely on donations – and every contribution truly makes a difference.
