Our speakers work across three locations including:

  • The St Kilda Drop-In Centre, where we have worked for more than thirty years supporting those reliant on street based sex work, and their families.
  • The Young Women’s Program supporting young women and girls aged between 12 – 25, who are affected by or at risk of sexual exploitation.
  • The Greeves St. Op Shop in St Kilda, a social enterprise initiative, supporting women with lived experience of street based sex work, into employment and volunteering.

"I am walking away with assurance about setting boundaries - that it is truly treating someone like a friend to have good boundaries. There were practical suggestions for this as well, which will help me start setting them a bit better."
Participant in workshopSt Judes Anglican Church, Carlton
"Andie’s talk made me think much more deeply about the trauma which so many women face, including women my age and much younger. Andie provided great insight into all of the factors which can lead a woman to become involved in street work, which made me reconsider the unfair judgment which many of us, me included, had towards these women before knowing anything about them. Andie’s presentation was powerful and thought-provoking, and the work which the St Kilda Gatehouse does is incredibly inspiring.”

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT for teachers

ARISE is an initiative of St Kilda Gatehouse and seeks to provide professional development focused on understanding, preventing and intervening in Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE).

Based on the challenges that were being presented by the young women and girls at the Young Women’s Project, St Kilda Gatehouse has developed visual psychosocial therapeutic tools that include contextually relevant media. The visual tools depict various risk and protective factors associated with CSE.

Project Insight is the first training module delivered over 2 days endeavouring to bridge a gap in the community to promote better understanding of Sexual Exploitation amongst frontline professionals, children and young people. 

Project Insight endeavours to equip practitioners with concrete therapeutic resources, to expand knowledge and deepen the pragmatic work that is being implemented in the community between workers and children, young people, and families affected by CSE.
