History & Focus
somewhere to turn - Support to move forward
A Way Out Ministries was founded in Memphis, Tennessee in 1992 and was the first ministry in the US who specifically sought to help topless dancers. Today, we take action against sexual exploitation and pornography by advocating for legislative changes, helping rescue and restore those victimized by and trapped in the sex industry, and educating the community on the harmful impact of the sex industry.
Our Mission
A Way Out Program’s mission is to assist any woman desiring to permanently leave sex trafficking.
To help address the trauma and harmful experiences endured by women trapped in the industry, we provide an individualized and holistic approach through:
A Godly support system
A safe living environment conducive to healing mentally and emotionally
Bible studies and the opportunity to learn the truth about God, salvation, and life
Avenues for educational and job skill training to enter the workforce
Individual counseling and recovery classes to overcome addiction and have healthy relationships
Counseling to learn motherhood & assistance with children’s needs
