中文 Jockey Club Teen’s Key “Walk with Girls” Project

The reasons why young girls engage in sex work include poverty, peer influence, and sexual curiosity. They have different needs in body, mind, education and career planning. Because they have been working in nightclubs for a long time, they missed school studies and were even "kicked out of school" (expulsion from school).

What they need?

Most young girls are often unemployed because they do not have any certificates and other work experience. Many of these girls have been subjected to sexual abuse, sexual exploitation and violence, causing huge psychological trauma.

Increase work experience & opportunities to return to school

Many young girls in the sex industry hope to leave the industry, but due to lack of academic certificates and work experience, most of them failed to successfully apply for a job and were trapped in the sex industry.

Raise health awareness

Unstable income makes many young girls hope to earn money from high-risk sexual behaviors, which increases their risk of contracting AIDS, sexually transmitted diseases or unintended pregnancy.

Debt issues and cultivating savings habits

Qingyue’s survey found that 27% of girls working in the sex industry chose to stay in the industry because they have a certain degree of debt. Among them, because'Mamasans' (intermediaries) will borrow money from them, they are very attractive to some young girls who are vulnerable or in danger.

Build confidence

Qingyue believes that all young girls have great potential, but some young girls will be difficult to change because of past events or their own experiences.

Testimonials

I am no longer afraid

“I learned from the Internet that the part-time girlfriend can help me earn tuition faster, so I started it for the first time, but it was also my last time.”

Connie, who grew up at the grassroots level, was ill because of his father’s illness. From the age of 15, he has been studying and working while earning living expenses. A year ago, she had just completed the public examination but failed to progress to a government-sponsored degree course, so she decided to apply for a self-financing course. But Connie knew that her family could not afford the expensive tuition, so she searched the Internet for a way to “make quick money” — part-time girlfriend.

Unfortunately, Connie met someone who was not good at her. The other party not only cheated money, but also forced her to have sex. Connie was very helpless, so he asked Qingyue for help through Instagram. When Qingyue’s colleagues first came into contact with her, they saw her very hesitant and confused because she had just experienced sexual violence. At the same time, she is also very worried that her part-time girlfriend will be known to her family. (Emotional support is also very important, such as accompany, solve, provide professional advice, and even accompany me every time I enter and exit the police station)

“Thank you to every Qingyue staff who helped me. I am no longer afraid. I hope you can continue to help other girls in need.”

Conni / 19 years old
