Amirah - Voices for Hope

Join us for brunch at the Ipswich Country Club on April 9, 2016 at 10 am to Noon

Every day there are thousands of women who are being trafficked for sexual exploitation here in New England. The average age for a woman to be brought into this life is 14 years old, and the majority of women who are being trafficked grew up right here in New England. This is not a problem that we are far removed from, but is something that exists in our own cities and communities.

Amirah is here to provide a refuge and home for women who want to break free from exploitation. We provide each woman with whole-person care as they work through their own personal journey of liberation.

While the statistics are staggering and this world can be filled with such darkness, Amirah exists to provide HOPE.
