The Poppy Project is in receipt of Home Office funding to provide a limited number of beds in safe housing for women who have been trafficked into prostitution in the United Kingdom. Based in London and run through EAVES housing – (a registered charity which has been working for 26 years to provide homeless women across London with high quality supported housing), the Poppy team have launched a poster campaign targeting traffickers and those who use trafficked and exploited women’s services, which should be of interest to CHASTE supporters.
CHASTE has recently launched the Sanctuary project which seeks to bring the capacity of the churches in response to the challenge for safe housing and trauma recovery for those who have been trafficked into prostitution and erotic labour in the United Kingdom. Expanded services in this area are desperately needed as the Poppy Project run through Eaves Housing and funded by the Home Office has only limited capacity. CHASTE although currently not in receipt of Home Office or statutory funding, relying on voluntary donations and the generous support of some key trusts in the UK works co-operatively alongside secular agencies working in victim support for those who have been trafficked into the UK.
Please be in contact with CHASTE if you are able to respond in some way to the provision of sanctuary or funds for our critically important work.
The following pages may shock, but this trade in human flesh is indeed shocking as the road to recovery is slow and in need of all the support that people can muster.
