The London Abused Women's Centre (LAWC) offers abused and exploited women and girls over the age of 12 with hope and help. This includes women and girls exploited in prostitution/sex trafficking, abused by their partners and/or exposed to sexual harassment. LAWC services include long-term individual and group counselling, safety planning, advocacy/referrals, and systems navigation. Through partnership with the Salvation Army Correctional and Justice Services LAWC also assists in providing outreach services to prostituted/sex-trafficked women/girls including assistance in attending appointments, help with meeting basic needs, and crisis support. LAWC also runs: groups for women/girls at risk of being lured into the sex trade by pimps/traffickers; public education campaigns; prevention speaks for women/youth; and sex-trafficking training to social service and service organizations.
