I just attended a really interesting conference on intersectionality, and its application across public policy. Thanks to the University of Malta for the invitation.

At the end of last year I left my role as Head of Anti-Trafficking at the British Red Cross, in order to focus on consultancy work. It's really difficult to summarise 10+ yrs of being part of an organisation & movement I feel so passionately about, & being in a role I feel privileged to have held.

A great first day on a new consultancy contract... lots of very exciting trafficking-response things in the works over the next few months....
I'm feeling very privileged that I get to do what I do.
