Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am doing a Sponsored Silence for Hope for Justice, as part of their Zoe Challenge because I want to help the voiceless victims of trafficking in this country. This is Zoe's story.

"Zoe was asked to come to the UK from Eastern Europe by a friend who said she could arrange a job for her in a hotel. Zoe was excited about the opportunity to come to the UK and on her arrival she was picked up by a man and a woman and taken to a hotel. Then she was handed some underwear and told to put it on. Zoe was confused and said she hadn’t come to the UK for this kind of job but she was threatened, violently assaulted and told she was in debt to the couple. She was raped on multiple occasions and forced to work as a prostitute. Zoe’s hopes quickly turned to horror as she realised that she had been trafficked. Moved from town to town in the UK and then sold to another trafficker, Zoe was too terrified to escape. The traffickers had told her that if she tried to leave they would come after her family. At one point a police officer even spoke to her but she was too scared to tell him what was really going on. The traffickers had told her that they ‘owned the police’. Zoe said that no good thing had happened to her in the UK. Hope for Justice found Zoe and rescued her from this devastating situation.She was immediately placed into aftercare to allow her to recover and now she’s rebuilding her life. Good things are now happening to Zoe in the UK. She now has hope and we, here at Hope for Justice, have hope for all the girls not yet found."
