Dar Hosea

Dar  Hosea is a safe, tranquil, and welcoming residence which serves as a daily drop-in centre for women seeking refuge from abuse, violence, poverty,  addiction, mental health issues, and any other harm and turmoil. Despite not  being a residential programme through our low-threshold drop-in services, we  offer a comprehensive approach to our service users. We acknowledge the  importance of extending our services through education outside our premises.  As such, several different initiatives are organised as a means of raising  awareness on the realities encountered by our service users, through talks  and sessions, social media and professional networking.

The  founding members in 2013 realised that in Malta, women caught in prostitution  had nowhere to go if they needed help or support. It was easily noticed that  numerous women were not only submerged and consumed by a vicious cycle of  substance misuse, which was destroying their lives, but in parallel to these  sufferings, these women were also trapped in a violent and harmful dark world  of prostitution. Dar Hosea represents a safe home and offers a hospitable  space, where anyone who enters is free from the shackles of judgement which  is usually accompanied by prejudice against women trapped in prostitution. DH  symbolises the warmth and love of a caring family ambiance.
