    Mary Sebastian

    In Episode 5 of My Epiphany we meet Mary Sebastian who works for International Justice Mission (IJM) as a Senior Advocacy Advisor. A qualified lawyer from India, Mary tells a story about a young girl she met who grew up in the same state was trafficked by her own Aunt. As a young professional, she struggled to come to terms with the fact that it was another woman who exploited her. The very people who she should have been able to trust were the ones to exploit her in such an unimaginably cruel way. What really hit home for Mary was when she realised that the young woman in front of her represented just one of a whole village of girls and young women who had been trafficked and forced to work in commercial sexual exploitation. Mary shares with us how she has witnessed many women and girls having to crawl out of the darkness into the light during her career.

    In Episode 4 of My Epiphany, Brandon Daniels, the CEO of the global EXIGER, recalls a chilling phone call he will never forget. In 2020, 39 Vietnamese men and women, including 10 teenagers (the youngest of which was only 15 years old), suffocated in the back of a lorry as they were trafficked into the UK. Several months later, one of EXIGER’s partners was about to enter into a new client relationship with the very firm responsible for this horrifying event. EXIGER’s systems immediately generated a red alert. Brandon tells us about the learning journey he went on as he found out more about this devastating tragedy. This is the story that fuels his fire in making supply chains more visible, accountable, and ethical.

    In Episode 3 of My Epiphany, Rebekah Lisgarten tells us how as a teenager, she randomly picked up a book at a supermarket which changed the course of her life. Assuming the story was a work of fiction, Rebekah was horrified to learn that ‘Slave Girl’ was the real story of Sarah Forsyth. At only 17, (just two years older than Rebekah) Sarah was trafficked to the Netherlands from the UK. During the course of her career, Rebekah has worked directly with trafficking survivors in the UK, Greece, India, and Cambodia. For five years she served on Stop the Traffik’s Executive Team having a pivotal role in shaping its global operations. In October 2024, Rebekah was appointed as Stop the Traffik’s new CEO. This is her epiphany moment. HOW CAN YOU GET INVOLVED Educate: Modern slavery is happening to people in the UK, in your town, in cities, on farms, and to people your age.

    Introducing episode 2 of our new short interview series My Epiphany. Episode 2 features Phil Brewer, a retired Police Officer who spent 5 years investigating modern slavery and human trafficking in the Met, now a specialist advisor at the Human Trafficking Foundation and lecturer and honorary research fellow at St Mary’s University. Early in his career with the Met,  Phil worked on the case of a man trafficked from Nigeria to the UK when he was 14 into a life of domestic servitude.  For 26 years the young man slept on a roll-up mat on the kitchen floor. When he was finally rescued, every possession he owned in the world fit into two plastic bags.  It was a case he'll never forget. Every week until December a new film will be released across our social media platforms and The Anti-Slavery Collective website.
