RUHAMA

Ruhama is a dedicated Irish charity that offers free, confidential support to women who have been affected by prostitution and human‑trafficking for sexual exploitation. Working across the Republic, the organisation provides a holistic, client‑centred service that does not require a visa or English‑language proficiency, ensuring that help is accessible to anyone in need.

Ruhama’s specialist assistance covers a wide spectrum of needs: legal and immigration advice, addiction support, help with finding employment, secure housing, and access to education and training programmes. In addition, the charity delivers health and wellbeing services and runs awareness campaigns aimed at shattering stigma, breaking the silence around trafficking, and encouraging the public to report suspicious activity. Volunteers are welcomed to join the effort, and supporters can stay informed through an e‑newsletter that highlights the impact of their contributions.

Through its compassionate, multi‑faceted approach, Ruhama empowers women to rebuild their lives, offering a safe pathway away from exploitation toward lasting independence.
