The purpose of Prostitution Research & education is to organize against the institution of prostitution and advocate for alternatives to prostitution - including emotional and physical healthcare for women in prostitution. A purpose of PRE is to reflect the voices of one of the world's most disenfranchised groups: prostituted women and children. The project's goal is to empower this constituency by documenting their perspectives through research, public education, and arts projects.

PRE develops innovative approaches to educating the public about the issue of prostitution - including how prostitution is an issue of women's rights, how prostitution is about racism, and the ways in which prostitution is also about poverty and basic human rights.
