Honoured to speak at the launch of new research on the @SophieHayesFdn Employability Programme. Employment is not just about income. It is about dignity, justice & self-determination, and a vital safeguard against re-trafficking. #SurvivorVoice @rightsbeacon @SlaveryPEC

NEW PROJECT! A new research project, led by @rightsbeacon in collaboration with @BMEAntislavery aims to assess for whom and in what circumstances safe houses promote recovery for survivors of modern slavery and human trafficking. 👇 modernslaverypec.org/researc…
This is an important piece of research that we've partnered up with @rightsbeacon on. The greater the participation, the more reliable the findings will be, so I urge you to take part in the survey. #EndModernSlavery #EveryonesBusiness

This week, we've released our Media Engagement Toolkit, prepared as part of the project: Survivor-led Advocacy Training for Survivors of Forced and Child Marriage; with funding from the University of Nottingham’s Impact Accelerator Account, in collaboration with lived experience experts from Karma Nirvana’s Survivor Ambassador Panel. This resource has been developed to support survivors in their decision regarding if and how they might want to engage in media interviews and/or other activities with the media. These questions might help you decide if an invitation for engagement you have received is something that you want to do, as well as help you think through the circumstances and conditions under which you would like to talk to the media about HBA. It's also a useful resource for journalists and media professionals working with survivors, as it can help demonstrate what common concerns survivors may have about talking about their experiences in the media. This toolkit would not have been possible without the input, support and expertise of lived experience experts from Karma Nirvana’s Survivor Ambassador Panel. We deeply appreciate your trust, confidence, and collaboration. A thank you to @NottsPolitics @rightsbeacon @ahrcpress and the @UoNPressOffice AHRC IAA for support throughout this project. View the full toolkit and project reports, as well as our video walkthrough on our website: karmanirvana.org.uk/news-ite… #media #survivors #HonourBasedAbuse
