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.

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.

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.
