ATLEU is the only UK charity that provides specialist, holistic legal advice to survivors of trafficking and slavery
About Us
‘The most important quality one can have is to be brave.’
Mrs P, former domestic worker
Founded in 2013, we aim to secure safety and justice for survivors by using and reforming the law.
We are strategic.
We prioritise cases that can be used to improve the law to achieve justice for far more survivors around the UK.
We are policy leaders.
We build coalitions, mobilise the sector to campaign for systemic change and empower survivors to lead change.
We recognise the value and expertise of survivors.
Our Lived Experience Group is essential to supporting the development of our services and priorities.
We work to develop the sector.
We share our specialist knowledge with the wider sector through our training, our online resource ATHUB and our advice line, to improve services for all survivors.
