One roof, one voice,
one woman at a time

Since 2018, Un toit pour Elles (utpELLES) has been helping women with a history of involvement in the sex industry leave the industry and reintegrate. We offer safe temporary housing and support in regaining independence and empowerment.

Testimonials

“I was lucky enough to stay in one of the Un toit pour elles 2024 apartments for four months. This was a huge help and made it possible for me to leave my violent and abusive partner. I’m very grateful to have had this peaceful place where I could regroup and then start fresh.”

– Female survivor

“Having an apartment of your own means having a safe space, a place where you can finally breathe, rebuild yourself, and dream of a better future. Every step counts, and I deserve this stability. A slow but precious learning experience where each day brings me a little closer to myself.”

– Female survivor

“Un Toit pour Elles has provided me with a lot of moral, financial, and safety support. I’m a single mother with two children aged 5 and 3. I stayed there for three months because I was going through a difficult time. Thanks to the regular follow-ups from the support workers, I was able to work through my feelings, find solutions to my financial problems, and get ready to begin my studies.”
