Activities

Established in 1992, The House for Women Saalaa is a shelter for Japanese and foreign women in Japan, and accommodates women, including trafficking victims, and assists with translation services and with repatriation. The shelter operates a telephone consultation service in many languages, and provides referrals to legal services.

Since 2004, Saalaa has been working closely with national and local government after the enactment of law to prevent human trafficking. Saalaa now thinks it necessary to work with overseas governments to help repatriate women who have been trafficked to Japan.
