OPS is a c3 non-profit organization The Organization for Prostitution Survivors OPS is committed to welcoming people of all identities, cultures, and backgrounds, with a focus on serving female-identifying individuals affected by commercial sexual exploitation CSE and trafficking.
As a survivor-led organization, our mission and values are rooted in empowering individuals and fostering justice, healing, and resilience within our communities. We recognize that racism, colonialism, and other forms of oppression continue to harm and marginalize many, and we are dedicated to cultivating trauma-informed, justice-centered relationships that uphold dignity and respect. OPS does not tolerate any form of bigotry within our community. We take proactive steps to maintain a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment for all who engage with us as we work toward a world free from exploitation and violence.
The Organization for Prostitution Survivors acknowledges that we work and gather on the traditional lands of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the Duwamish Tribe. We honor their enduring care and stewardship of this land and recognize that it remains the unyielded territory of Indigenous Peoples who have lived here for generations. As a survivor-led organization, OPS is committed to empowering individuals affected by commercial sexual exploitation and trafficking.
Our mission extends beyond healing; we seek to model resilience and leadership within the anti-trafficking movement, providing essential pathways to recovery through trauma-informed care. We understand that the systems of exploitation and violence we combat have deep historical roots in colonization, including the ongoing dispossession of Native communities. We strive to meet the complex needs of survivors through support and empowerment.
We extend our deepest respect and gratitude to the Coast Salish communitiesβpast, present, and futureβas we work toward a vision of justice and healing that includes all survivors and their communities. We will still be open for our participants but while we move to Seattle, our Drop-In Hours will be closed:.
