• For anyone (e.g. entertainment workers, street children, transgender and sex buyers) knowing they will be treated with dignity and respected as people with inherent value.

• From which different NGOs can reach out to people (e.g. entertainment workers, street kids, transgender and sex buyers) in the local community.

• Where people can learn about the issues around sexual exploitation – both the demand and supply side.
• For those from faith communities to pray and worship.
