The Miriam Project (Padua)
The program provides a shelter for immigrant women and children in
difficult situations and lodges and hides young women who are victims of
human trafficking.
Project Miriam chose a specific target in the vast
field of prostitution: immigrant prostitutes, victims of the
"kidnapping-prostitution" international business. While protecting the
women, they are given the opportunity to learn skills, find jobs, and
gradually return to society. While in the program, each person receives
shelter, help in obtaining legal documents, other legal assistance,
healthcare, counseling, and educational and training assistance. Workshops
are offered in order to give the young women opportunities to socialize
and keep busy with a specific goal, and at the same time learn skills to
help them find a job. The guests who have been helped range in ages 17
to 30.
Needs: Funding for food and clothing;
building maintenance and utilities; legal and counseling fees; travel
expenses; stipends for daily living requirements of the Sisters |
