The situation for survivors of exploitation is worsening. Vital support systems are in collapse, and women face months and years of uncertainty while trying to rebuild their lives. We support women to have hope, confidence and skills for sustainable freedom and a future free from re-exploitation.

Situation
The scale of modern slavery continues to grow, with over 122,000 people estimated to be in modern slavery in the UK. The situation for survivors has never been more challenging, with hostile policies, cost-of-living crisis and collapsing essential support services. In 2023, women survivors waited an average 1,038 days for a final decision on their trafficking claims, twice as long men - leaving survivors without support or access to skills to rebuild their lives.
Solution
Lengthy waiting times leave survivors without hope, unable to look towards the future and without long-term support, are left vulnerable to re-exploitation. Our programme provides long-term support and disrupts cycles of vulnerability and exploitation, increasing confidence, employability skills, digital literacy, and financial resilience. We support into education, work, training or volunteering opportunities, alongside our lifelong survivor support network- Creative Resilient Empowered Women.
