Street Outreach

Much of sex trafficking has moved out-of-sight and is conducted via online sites, strip clubs, massage parlors, brothels, online apps, and online "escort" services. However, street prostitution is still prevalent in the Twin Cities, making street outreach an opportunity to reach many exploited women and girls.

Our workers provide street-based outreach to prostituted individuals to help build a rapport with them, let them know about Breaking Free’s programs and services, and provide hygiene kits, condoms and other seasonal items in an effort to meet their ongoing needs. Outreach workers canvas areas in Minneapolis and St. Paul that are known to be high traffic areas for prostitution.
