This thesis deals with the topic of sexual exploitation of women in prostitution from the perspective of field social work and the activities of the Christian mission NGO - OM Czech Republic (OM ČR). It introduces the issue of prostitution and sexual exploitation as closely- linked negative phenomena in society. It analyzes contemporary theoretical positions and types of legal regulations of prostitution in different countries, including the Czech Republic. It also describes the method of field work and its application to the target group of women in prostitution, general characteristics, and the specifics of sexually exploited persons. It deals in greater detail with the principles of field work with this socially stigmatized group. The work of OM ČR is introduced by recalling the biblical paradigms of missions, the deaconry and the pastorate, and the principles of the pursuit of social justice, the holistic approach to man, and the involvement of Christians in social work. These paradigms and principles are also used in the ministry of OM ČR, including during field work with the target group. The individual aspects of the work are described in detail
