Abstract

The Sexual Exploitation Education Project (SEEP) of Portland, Oregon, is committed to making men more accountable for the persistence of prostitution by focusing attention on the customers who solicit sex from prostituted women. Under a cooperative agreement with the district court, men who are convicted of soliciting prostitution are required to participate in a weekend workshop conducted by SEEP, in which they are educated about the realities of the sex industry and its exploitative nature. Both men and women have been involved in the creation of SEEP and the facilitation of the weekend workshop. This article describes the perspectives that guide the project, the processes through which its unique workshop came into being, and the important and welcome ways that men are contributing to this issue and to this organization.
