Julie Etchingham

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. HOW CAN YOU GET INVOLVEDEducate: 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.
