Barnardo's Young Women’s Service in Southampton helps young women under the age of 18 who are vulnerable to, or are being, abused through prostitution in Southampton. We aim to help protect young women through direct work and support on personal safety, relationships, sexual health, risks and self esteem, and help them to exit from sexual exploitation/prostitution.

In common with a number of Barnardo’s services concerned with sexual exploitation, Southampton Young Women’s Service is committed to working with some of the most vulnerable young people. The service is jointly funded by Barnardo’s and Southampton Social Services.
