HOPE means Helping ourselves prevent exploitation. HOPE is a project that recruits, trains and supports peer mentors with learning disabilities to provide awareness training about sexual exploitation. The initiative is co-funded by the Daphne programme of the European Union that encourages multi-agency cooperation to address violence against women and children. EU-projectpartners of Social Association St. Andrew (SASA), Bulgaria, are the British Institute of Learning Disabilities (BILD) in Birmingham, England, running the programme in the South West and in the Midlands, and the European Association of Service Providers for Persons with Disabilities (EASPD) based in Brussels. SASA in cooperation with the “Co-Participation” Association provides outreach social work with the Roma communities in Varna. The project will run from January 2017 to the end of June 2019. It is expected that all of the resources that are developed will be freely available to download so that the initiative can be replicated across Europe.
