We take a non-judgmental and prejudice-free approach to sex work, as we believe that everyone who chooses this profession is self-determined and should be guaranteed equal opportunities and fundamental rights.
Mission

Vision
Plano AproXima aims to contribute to society's respect for any self-determined adult who freely and informedly chooses sex work as a professional activity.
This vision will be reflected in a reduction in the stigma surrounding sex workers and in the possibility for these individuals to be more active agents of change in their professional careers and life choices.
