Does PACE work only with women?
 No, PACE works with individuals of all genders. PACE Society,
since its inception, has driven the movement toward systemic
change in social attitudes, treatment, and the condition
with which adults and children who are trapped in cycles
of sexual exchange are forced to live. We hope for the
inclusion of all genders in this plight.

mobilizing individual assets; facilitating and/or referring

housing, access to health and addiction services, safety,
personal asset building, asset mobilization, child custody,
