Men's
The Men’s Collection encompasses our belief that when men are at the forefront of solutions to ending sexual exploitation of women and girls, lasting change will be realized. Eden is unapologetically intentional in building relationships with brothel owners and pimps who stand outside and call in the customers. We also chat with the customers on their way in and out of the brothels.
When you enter red light areas and trafficking hubs it is like you are entering a separate small country with its own culture, rules, hierarchy and source of income. Through violence, oppression, and captivity, 150 billion USD a year is made in profits worldwide from the sexual exploitation of women and girls. This money can only be generated by keeping women and girls in fear through threats, intimidation, coercion, and violence.
Without building relationships with the men who own the brothels and the pimps who work the streets outside, we are just reaching the women and girls and can only be effective in rescue. Instead, Eden’s vision is to be a catalyst for community transformation. To accomplish this aim we find creative ways to reach the men involved in the industry.
Through our friendships, we challenge them to see beyond the fast money and profits and take a deeper look at the extent to which the darkness of their industry has captured them. We listen to how their life journey has led them into this toxic darkness, and we speak hope for a better future.
