Aileen spoke with members about Cahira House, a safe refuge for women who have experienced sexual exploitation.
The charity is based in the Central Belt of Scotland and provides residential accommodation for around 6 women, along with support services such as counselling.
Cahira is an Irish word meaning ‘warrior’, which is how the staff and volunteers view the women who live at Cahira House as they have had to ‘fight’ to survive. The organisation receives no government funding and is supported mainly by donations.
