“It Is Easier If You Believe.” The Model of Assistance for Women Giving Up Selling Sexual Services on the Example of the Catholic Center for Girls and Women at Risk of Prostitution and Wanting to Abandon It

Summary/Abstract: There is little discussion of institutional assistance for women abandoning prostitution in the academic literature. There is especially lack of analyzing the catholic perspective which sometimes is, as in case of Sharon Oselin and Ronald Weitzer, linked with radical feminism. In the article, I reconstruct the model of assistance for former female sex workers using the example of the Catholic Center for girls and women at risk of prostitution and wanting to abandon it. I also analyze the views of the Center’s staff regarding prostitution, prostitutes, and how they should function after giving up selling sexual services. I draw on my ethnographic research which I conducted (intermittently) in 2005-2016.
