All of the women One25 works with have experienced trauma.

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-judgment and compassion, make a huge impact.

Our vision is of a world where all women are safe, feel loved and thrive.

The women we support face multiple disadvantages:

100% experience poverty

91% have experienced domestic and/or sexual violence

91% experience addiction to drugs and/or alcohol

86% experience homelessness

86% have chronic physical health needs

81% have significant mental health needs

41% have disclosed childhood abuse

Each woman’s journey is unique and precious

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.
