The Jewish Association for the Protection of Girls and Women (JAPGW), founded in 1885 as the Jewish Ladies' Society for Preventive and Rescue Work, was a British Jewish organization established by women for the purpose of combatting trafficking in Eastern European Jewish adult and adolescent women. As its activities progressed, men as well joined the association. The JAPGW led an international struggle against trafficking in women for their exploitation in prostitution, provided aid to the victims and saw to their vocational rehabilitation. The association ceased its activities in 1947, upon the end of World War II.[1]
