In this episode, Ryna Sherazi, Director of Communications from Anti Slavery International, takes people through the fundamentals of modern slavery and human trafficking.

Released on International Anti-Slavery Day, we wanted to return to this issue and review what has changed since the estimated number of people living in slavery rose from 40 to 50 million people, that's 1 in every 150 of us! How can this be!?

Please share this episode with a friend, family member or colleague who may be interested in finding out more about this issue and what they can do about it.

In this episode Bryn talks to the UK Barrister and Founder of the Malawi Bail Project, Charlotte Mackenzie.

Charlotte grew up in south London with an interest in law that prompted her to take an evening class. She went on to pass the bar and take chambers in 42 Bedford Row where she currently practices as a family law Barrister.

When she was 21, Charlotte took a short-term legal internship in Malawi which changed her life forever and led to the creation of a charity aimed at educating thousands of Malawian people to their rights and releasing hundreds from illegal detention and imprisonment.
