About us

Room of Hope is a charity which operates under the Finnish NGO Vapauta Uhri ry (registration number 2812658-8). We have offered support for victims of gender-based violence, especially human trafficking, since 2014. We finance our operations with donations from individuals, companies and churches.

During the last 7 years we have helped more than 60 victims of human trafficking. Currently we have over 20 ladies and 13 children who are attending our program up to three times a week. In the Trafficking in Persons report, Cyprus was recently downgraded to Tier 2, so the need for this work in Cyprus is huge.

Human trafficking (as defined by Art. 2 of the 2011/36/EU Directive) and sexual exploitation (currently undefined in International law) are heinous forms of gender-based violence (GBV). Women and girls are at particular risk of trafficking in human beings (THB) for the purposes of sexual exploitation, forced prostitution and sexual slavery.

Room of Hope is located in Nicosia, Cyprus. Our mission is to directly help victims who have been affected by human trafficking and sexual exploitation. Our goal is to empower women by equipping them with renewed self esteem, new skills and providing them holistic support – the first and crucial stepping stones on the difficult but possible path to build a new life of dignity and sustainability. In addition to supporting the women, Room of Hope is also passionate about the developmental needs of their children.
