We meet women who are deeply traumatised from childhood abuse and violence. This leads to life situations where they are stigmatised, marginalised, locked out of society. Many are in crisis and many are street sex-working. Yet these courageous women show tremendous skills and potential: in their supportive peer relationships, their creativity and humour, and their survival.
The specialist services we offer, alongside our ethos of non-judgemental, unconditional love, make a huge impact.
One25 worked with 260 women street sex-working in 2023-24:
98% have experienced domestic or sexual violence
94% have significant mental health needs
89% have chronic physical health needs
72% experience homelessness
98% experience addiction
54% have disclosed childhood abuse
100% experience poverty
We work with each woman who needs support until she is ready to move on. Wherever she is on her journey, we give love and practical support, without judgement or expectation. We celebrate each step and we never give up.
