Take our quiz:

• Have you ever been asked to sleep with someone for money, food, or shelter?
• Does anyone force you to do things you do not want to do?

• Does anyone control whom you talk to and who can see?
• Has anyone taken your ID or documents away?
• Are you being threatened by your boss?

• Are you afraid to leave your job?

If you answered yes to anyone of these, you are not alone! Here at FAIR Girls, we work with girls who have gone though similar things. We can help you find a safe place to live, get a job, get access to legal or medical support, get new clothes, toiletries, and make new friends who will care and support you.
