​Yada: [Hebrew]  יָדַע   To know, be known or be made known

Yada ​is​ ​a charity ​that​ ​offers​ ​support​​ ​to​ ​women​ ​in​ ​the​ ​sex​ ​industry​ ​and women at risk of sexual exploitation in areas of West Sussex.

Our​ ​vision​ ​is​ ​to​ ​see​ ​a​ ​world​ ​with​ ​no​ ​place​ ​for​ ​sexual​ ​exploitation,​ ​where​ ​women​ ​live safe and empowered​ ​lives​ ​in​ ​connection​ ​and​ ​community.​ ​ 

Yada’s​ ​meaning​ ​‘to​ ​be​ ​known’,​ ​​ ​motivates​ ​us​ ​to​ ​create​ ​a​ ​culture​ ​of​ ​support​ ​and​ ​acceptance​ ​for​ ​each woman,​ ​living​ ​a​ ​life​ ​free​ ​from​ ​abuse​ ​and​ ​stigma.

Our outreach service, The Esther Project,  is for self-identifying women who sell or exchange sex. We ​offer​ ​listening​ ​and​ ​emotional​ ​and​ ​practical​ ​support,​ ​tailor-made​ ​safety​ ​information,​ ​and signposting​ ​to​ ​other​ ​specialist​ ​services​ ​such​ ​as​ ​sexual​ ​health.

If​ ​you​ ​would​ ​like​ ​to​ ​find​ ​out​ ​more​ ​about​ ​our​ ​service​ ​please​ ​get​ ​in​ ​touch​, or sign up to our newsletter and keep up to date with all our news.
