Some Shocking Statistics:
– 1 in 3 women will be a victim of domestic abuse in their lifetime
– On average, 2 women a week are killed by a current or former male partner
– Up to 10,000 forced marriages take place in the UK every year
– An estimated 2.5 million people are in forced labour (including sexual exploitation) at any given time as a result of trafficking

-
Sexual abuse
-
Emotional & psychological abuse
-
Threats, intimidations, degradations or isolations
-
Physical abuse
-
Online or digital abuse
-
Forced marriage

Human Trafficking
Then let us help you break your silence.
