Rebekah Lisgarten

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. Visit our website, follow us on social media, educate yourself. Talk to your friends and family about it. Think before you buy a fake football shirt, or pay for a cut price manicure or a cheap car wash.

Donate: Your money helps us to continue to develop awareness-raising campaigns and educational materials. It helps us to support grassroots organisations working directly with survivors and work with businesses to uncover and stamp out modern slavery in their supply chains.
