"I am a passionate believer in equity, freedom, and human rights and my proudest achievements have been in the field of gender equality. I'm excited to bring this experience to the incredible work of Sophie Hayes Foundation on sustainable freedom for women survivors of trafficking and slavery, and to work alongside its brilliant and dedicated team.
Together with the team, we are looking ahead to many opportunities in 2024 to broaden the scope of our support to survivors, to advocate for them and their experiences, and to work with a wide range of new and existing partners to open up meaningful opportunities for engagement. In the face of the current challenging climate for survivors in the UK, this support is needed now more than ever. I am very much looking forward to meeting with individuals and groups who have partnered with Sophie Hayes Foundation, would like to do so, or are interested in finding out more about our work – please get in touch: emily@sophiehayesfoundation.org ”
