Testimonials

“Women who are victims of violence, exploitation and trafficking are often hard to help, Eaves stands up for the most marginalised and discriminated-against women, and by being trustworthy supporters they enable those women to begin to take control of their lives in a positive way. But it’s not just the help they provide to individuals – Eaves brings the cases and the policy together through their research so politicians and decision-makers are confronted by the stories and the facts that should change outcomes. Sadly, too often, that doesn’t happen but Eaves persists. Society would be poorer without their persistence.”
