Here’s the latest from Ella’s. We hope these stories inspire and move you to be part of our work at Ella’s, and to do what you can to stop slavery and exploitation.

Due to the nature of our work, a number of these stories contain references to violence, sexual and other types of abuse that some readers may find upsetting. Where we use names, please assume these have been changed for the protection of the women we work with.
