Our Approach

Our approach is rooted in the belief in the empowerment of individuals. Our services are designed to support people in regaining their agency and power after experiencing exploitation. We recognize that trafficked individuals are indeed victims of a crime, and their victim status entitles them to specific rights under international law. However, it's common for governments and non-governmental organizations to treat them as powerless and devoid of agency. Therefore, in this collection, we choose not to label them as 'victims' but rather refer to them as 'Survivors of human trafficking'.

Our Values

The HELP organization operates from a human rights perspective when it comes to combating human trafficking. This means that we are against any anti-trafficking measures that undermine or have a detrimental impact on the human rights of the affected groups. We view human trafficking as both a root cause and a consequence of human rights violations.

We firmly believe that every individual should have the freedom to choose the type of work that best suits their circumstances, whether it be in a regular or irregular setting, while having their rights fully respected. We acknowledge that sex work is an occupation that adults can choose to engage in, and we consider any exploitation or abuse within the sex industry as a form of labor exploitation.
