WE BELIEVE IN FULL RECOVERY FOR WOMEN WHO LEAVE THE SEX INDUSTRY BEHIND.
ABOUT
I’m Robin van Denderen, founder and president of Stay With Me. My journey started in 2017 as a young social worker in Amsterdam's Red Light District, where I reached out to women trapped in prostitution. This experience ignited my passion for helping women leave the sex industry behind, revealing its harsh realities and enduring impacts. Despite their personal and practical challenges, I persisted in believing there was a way out.
Moving to Florida in 2021, I brought this mission with me and launched Stay With Me. Within Florida’s unique context, we focus on educating communities about the root causes of entering the sex industry. In addition, we provide outreach to women currently involved in the sex industry to address and eliminate the barriers preventing their exit. We are committed to supporting women in finding a life beyond their current circumstances, with confidence in their full recovery and a promising future.
