Questions What about the film did you find most striking? What
did you find most shocking? Why do you think we dont hear more
about human trafficking in the news? Why do you think the issue
matters and is personal to each one of us? What did you think about
the story of St Josephine Bakhita? What did her experience of being
trafficked give to her?

The work of the Medaille Trust is the empowerment of women,
young men and children, who have been freed from the
human-trafficking industry here in the UK, enabling them to regain
their dignity and self-worth. We do this by providing safe housing
and offering opportunities for physical and psychological healing
and rehabilitation. We raise awareness of the plight of those who
are enslaved and exploited in the UK and campaign on this
issue.
Slide 9
What can we do as a community to raise awareness and funds for
charities which support victims of human trafficking (e.g. The
Medaille Trust)?
Slide 10
If I were to meet the slave-traders who kidnapped me and even
those who tortured me, I would kneel and kiss their hands, for if
that did not happen, I would not be a Christian today
Slide 11
O God, when we hear of children and adults deceived and taken
to unknown places for purposes of sexual exploitation, forced
labour, and organ harvesting, our hearts are saddened and our
spirits angry that their dignity and rights are ignored through
threats, lies, and force. We cry out against the evil practice of
this modern slavery, and pray with Saint Bakhita for it to end.
Give us wisdom and courage to reach out and stand with those whose
bodies, hearts and spirits have been so wounded, so that together
we may make real your promises to fill these sisters and brothers
with a love that is tender and good. Send the exploiters away
empty-handed to be converted from this wickedness, and help us all
to claim the freedom that is your gift to your children. Amen.
