Before we could build our process, we had to understand what we were up against.
It’s currently estimated that over 150,000 women are in prostitution in the capital of Ethiopia, Addis Ababa. Women with little to no opportunities are forced to turn to prostitution to support themselves, but often end up enslaved, exploited, and trafficked around the world.
One of the most effective ways to combat this exploitation is to address the root cause; the fact that so many women in Ethiopia never have an opportunity for stable employment, vocational training, or professional skill development. That's where we felt we could make a difference, and now it's where you come in!
