Welcome to this week’s episode where I talk to Sophie Otiende.
Sophie has been working in the anti-human trafficking space for over 10 years. Growing up in the informal settlements of Nairobi, Kenya…Sophie herself was trafficked.
Sophie has gone on to set up numerous, survivor-led, anti-human trafficking organizations and brought the concept of trauma-informed support to the forefront of the anti-trafficking response.
Now the CEO of the Global Fund to End Modern Slavery…Sophie and the Fund are creating an environment where survivor-leaders and grassroots organizations can build something truly remarkable...
