Human trafficking is a growing crime that disproportionately affects women and girls, who account for over 90% of those trafficked for sexual exploitation. Escape can take years and is fraught with danger. Trafficking robs women of freedom, safety and hope. The system provides some emergency support but is often in unsafe or unsuitable settings that fail to address their trauma, leaving them vulnerable to re-exploitation.

At Ella’s, recovery is about rebuilding lives, not just escaping harm. We recognise that women who have survived the most unimaginable trauma deserve stability, community, dignity, independence, and hope. We create safe homes and community, and provide long-term specialist support. We help women to recover, rebuild, and thrive - supporting them to move from survival to stability and self-determination, so they can create a future that belongs to them.
