Summary
In April 2004, the POPPY Project has been providing support accommodation for trafficked women for one year. We have gathered information from twenty-six women housed by POPPY/Eaves long enough to have developed a trusting relationship with their SW. We will add to these forms the longer we work with individual woman, and this will be updated by SWs in consultation with the Counter-Trafficking Development Worker over time. The countries of origin of these women are as follows: Lithuania (5); Ukraine (4); Albania (3); Romania (3); Moldova (2); Nigeria (2); Sierra Leone (2); Democratic Republic of Congo; Ghana; Latvia; Thailand; Turkey.
