Eaves is a London-based charity that provides high quality housing and support to vulnerable women. We also carry out research, advocacy and campaigning to prevent all forms of violence against women.
At Eaves, we put the needs of women first. We are determined to give a voice to the most excluded women in society and provide direct, innovative services to support and empower women to help themselves.
Sojourner
The Sojourner Project is for women with no recourse to public funds, who entered the UK on a spousal visa and are eligible to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) under the Domestic Violence Rule.
Funding for this project has been extended again and we will continue to take referrals up to the 31st March 2011.

Prostitution, exit strategies and best practice in supporting women

The aim is to equip attendees with the knowledge required to assist individuals who want to leave prostitution - including victims of trafficking - through facilitating access to appropriate services.
