Her life became hell. She was raped, abused and couldn\u2019t go anywhere with no money or papers. She is now 36. Thanks to TheBridge2Hope, she has her future ahead of her.    <\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The victims of human traffickers are often deprived of the proper help. They barely know their way around all the legal, social or medical facilities available in our country. Moreover, the trust they have is deeply damaged. As a result, they make themselves invisible and do not have the courage to allow anyone into their lives.   <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Humane existence<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The academy TheBridge2Hope is especially committed to helping people like Joyce rebuild a dignified life. This is achieved through a counselling programme that has proven to be effective. It is run by permanent volunteers along with a psychologist who specialises in trauma treatment. In parallel, former participants support new participants. In this way, they find plenty of mutual support.    <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Self-confidence restored<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each year the programme can accommodate 30 participants. With the help of the Academy, their self-esteem is gradually increased. They stop feeling like victims and instead become survivors. They take back control. They feel more confident and their self-esteem grows. They are able to speak the Dutch language. They know they\u2019ll have a job or residence permit in the future- or receive support in their efforts to return home.      <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3589,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"class_list":["post-5173","social-nederland","type-social-nederland","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The Bridge2Hope - Dioraphte<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/dioraphte.nl\/en\/social-netherlands\/the-bridge2hope\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The Bridge2Hope - Dioraphte\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Joyce from Nigeria was 14 years old when she was abducted to Europe.
