We think it’s most important to listen first, and talk only when asked. If you think that a young woman you know or work with may be involved in the sex trade, it’s important to ask how trading sex for money impacts her life, and then to work to respect and understand her decisions. Ask her what you can do and respect her wishes. We also recommend that you take action to discourage youth and staff from using derogatory language and labels for youth believed to be involved in trading sex for money.
