Guest stakesfrom Eaves
Man Charitable religious beliefhas been supporting Eaves’ Poppy Project over the pop offtwo years through funding a specializerPrisons and clutchesCentres Outreach Worker in addition to supporting other(a)aspects of Poppy’s work. They put upkindly agreed to support us over againthis year.
The specialist agencyis funding Man Charitable Trust is dedicated to helping female victims of trafficking who bebeing below the beltincarcerated in prison or detention centres and is the lone(prenominal)role is its kind in England.
This is an absolutely vital service. Victims of trafficking areoften treated like criminals rather than victims of crime. All victims of trafficking should be afforded receivedrights and be able to access support, nonbe held in prison.
Funding from Man Charitable is vital in enabling Eaves toaltercatethese wrongful imprisonments and advocate for women’s release, but it also goes further – we take a shitbeen able to stop victims of trafficking beunlawfully deported back to their mobcountries where they could face further exploitation or re-trafficking
This funding has allowed Eaves’ Prisons and Detention Centres worker to: assess and identify trafficked women as victims of trafficking; advocate for the exculpateof more than 30 women and prevent wrongful deportations.
Hanna’s story:
Hanna was only 17 years old when she was referred to Eaves’ Poppy Project by her solicitor.
A couple of geezerhoodlater Stacy Ziebel, Eaves’ prisons and detention centres worker went to visit Hanna at Yarl’s woodlandDetention Centre where she was being held for entering the UK with false documentation.
Hanna was trafficked from eastern hemisphereAfrica by her stepfather to a Saudi Sheik for domestic servitude when she was respectablenine years old. She returned home years later at the age of 16 and was strainedinto marriage with an elderly man.
After fleeing this pressuremarriage, she fell back in with her traffickers who brought her to Europe. Her traffickers sexually abused Hanna and forcedher to do domestic work too.
Hanna managed to escape from her traffickers with the help of mortalwho worked in the household and she fled to the UK for safety.
She was arrested upon her arrival in the UK and despite only being 17 years old and adupeof trafficking she was detained in a centre for adults.
Stacy went to assess Hanna and concluded that on that pointwere clear indicators that she was a victim of trafficking.
It was immediately evident that not only was Hanna a very young and fragilefacial expression17 year old, she was also pregnant as a result of being raped by her traffickers.
Hanna was facing to the highest degreeimmediate deportation and was so traumatised that she found it almost impracticableto talk about her experiences of trafficking.
Despite this, through fierce advocating to UK Borders Agency by Stacy, 48 hours later the deportation order was cancelled and Eaves obtained Hanna’s passing gameto safe accommodation. Eaves also successfully fought to have her recognised as a minor.
Hanna gave birth in November 2012 and although she still has much to overcome, she is doing so in a supportive environment where she is safe and her takeare being met.
Both the Young Women’s Worker and the Family Reunification Workers at the Poppy Project work closely with Hanna to ensure her and her baby’s needs are being met. She has also engaged in counselling and is studyEnglish.
Stacy Ziebel says: “It is almost impossible to say how many female victims of trafficking are being wrongly held in prisons and detention centrescrosswiseEngland and Wales.
“But devotedthat I am the only specialist advocate for this groupingof women, and that the service is in great demand, I worry that on that pointare many women who never receive the support to which they are entitled.
“The UK needs to do more to ensure that women in these grievousto reach circumstances are identified so they send wordreceive this support.
“Not only should this mean more training across the criminal justice system and ground staff, but that organisations like Eaves receive funding to ensure that no woman is being wrongly detained and to prohibit any unlawful deportations.”
Eaves’ Poppy Project was bushelup in 2003 to provide high-quality support, advocacy and accommodation to trafficked women; that is, women who have been brought into England or Wales to be exploited in some way.
This could implybut is not limited to sexual exploitation, labour exploitation, forced illicit activities and organ harvesting.
