Christine DeMaria founded SWITCH CARES in 2024 with the goal of supporting sex workers, strippers, and victims of human trafficking in their current circumstances and helping them transition into economically sustainable careers if they want to. Christine survived childhood sex trafficking and stripped for nearly a decade. In 2020, Christine set her sights on law school. She enrolled full time at two different schools at the same time (online) to complete her bachelors degree with high honors in under two years. Christine went on to graduate law school in May 2025, and passed the July 2025 New York State Bar exam on her first try. Christine is looking forward to completing her licensing requirements to become an attorney. Education opened a lot of doors for Christine, and she wants all of those same doors to be open to every sex worker, stripper, and survivor of human trafficking that is ready to walk through them.
