    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.

    Here is the first video in our new short interview series called "My Epiphany". Each short film details a very personal moment when experts and activists from all walks of life were confronted with the horrifying reality of modern slavery, and their ongoing quest to do something about it. To kick off the series, the first video features the broadcaster and journalist Julie Etchingham. 20 years ago, Julie sat across a table in a prison meeting room and met a young, quietly spoken Nigerian woman, whose story changed her life. Every week until December a new film will be released across our social media platforms and The Anti-Slavery Collective website.
