Situation
40 million people are enslaved in the world.130,000 of which are estimated to be in the UK, with the problem growing at an unprecedented rate. When survivors of this abuse have escaped, women in particular remain vulnerable, susceptible to re-exploitation because there is little support to help them rebuild their lives. This is where we come in - we are the only independent organisation in the UK solely focussed on supporting women survivors of Modern Slavery to achieve sustainable freedom
Solution
Re-exploitation happens when women survivors are not given the confidence, resilience or skills to rebuild their lives. Our unique programme combines workshops, one-to-one and peer-group coaching, alongside dedicated support into work placements, further training or volunteering opportunities. Women achieve a renewed sense of purpose with the skills to be able to secure employment, training or even start a new career path.
