The Domestic SLAVES Rescued From Londons' Richest Streets

BBC 1 SEP 2023






Professor Dame Sarah Thornton was the UK’s Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner from 2019 until last year, and is now Rights Lab Professor of Practice in Modern Slavery Policy at the University of Nottingham.




Talking on Channel 4 news with Ciaran Jenkins she says it is "shameful" to see modern slavery perpetrated in London’s most affluent areas.

She said: "The first thing that struck me was the courage of the survivors and the rescuers, because clearly they were doing something that was quite risky."

In the last five years, hundreds of women have been saved from domestic slavery and violent abuse in the UK. More than 220 of those rescues were carried out by a small, fearless band of volunteers.

Channel 4 News has had exclusive access to the group, who've made it their mission to free those trapped behind the closed doors of wealthy families, mostly from the Middle East.
