Born out of the desire to see a way out for women and children in the s*x industry Scarlet Road set out to change social perspectives, help the community understand and serve victims of s*xual exploitation, and provide long term support for a population of women and children that was receiving none. Our three founders first came together in 2008, hoping to create more awareness through hosting a Freedom 5K run. This quickly evolved into a true passion for serving the victims that were within their own reach and since the start of the outreach programs in 2009 they have been journeying with women leaving the commercial s*x industry, and supporting them in the hard transitions they face. The journey that Scarlet Road has been on has been one of passion, hard work and a sincere dedication to exploited women in our community. We have journeyed with many partners in our community and continue to do so in order to create increased knowledge of this issue throughout the Kitsap and North Mason area. Those who set forth building Scarlet Road, did so from a place of motivation for how we as Christians are called to serve and care for the people around us. Though the organization is founded on Christian principles, we strongly believe that anyone seeking support from Scarlet Road, whether they share our faith or not, should have the support and care they seek.
