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.


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.
