Specialist supported accommodation for trafficked families (360G-CR-408836)

Human trafficking results in gross violations of human rights by gangs of organised criminals. Globally, millions of women, men and children are being trafficked every year for the purposes of modern slavery. Whole families are often trafficked particularly for reasons of benefit fraud and begging. Once law enforcement has intervened a network of voluntary organisations provide safe houses across the UK. At present there is no specialist provision for families. The grant will provide appropriate accommodation and support for families who are victims of human trafficking. This will increase the likelihood of successfully addressing the needs of the families and supporting them to make a successful transition to safer, better lives.
