The public health community is just beginning to understand the inherent connections between substance abuse, sexual abuse and prostitution. Someone who is suffering from one of these issues will be more likely to suffer from another, if not both of the other issues. In other words, they are mutually enforcing. We know from experience by outreaching to those who suffer from substance abuse or who have been prostituted that we will reach survivors of sexual violence. This program bridges gaps in current services and leads to a holistic approach for victims of sexual abuse who have been prostituted and dealing with substance abuse issues.
