Working for a charity that supports victims of sexual and labour exploitation is tough, but there are moments of hope
I work for a charity supporting victims of modern slavery in London. My week begins with a visit to Tina, who lives in one of our safe houses. Tina grew up in poverty in Asia and wanted to provide a better life for her family, which led to her accepting a job in the UK. She used to cook and clean for a family for 12 hours a day, for no pay. She was also sexually abused by her employer. She’s stressed and misses her family. I want to give her a hug, but I know it can’t fix things.
