Challenge

Human trafficking has profound consequences for individuals and communities, manifesting in severe physical and psychological trauma, as well as social isolation and mistrust. In the recovery journey for trafficking victims, it is essential to create opportunities for social connection and empowerment. Incorporating sports as a therapeutic tool can play a valuable role in this process, provided that it is integrated into a comprehensive recovery programme that addresses the unique needs and circumstances of survivors.

Innovation

RECOVER harnesses the power of sports as a therapeutic tool to enhance the recovery and reintegration of VoTs through sports, improving their wellbeing and raising public awareness of the benefits of physical activity, while also promoting valuable synergies between organisations.
