Episode 6 of My Epiphany features Amoge (Ams) Ukaegbu from the Sophie Hayes Foundation. As a student, Amoge will never forget the moment she came across the story of a young girl who was trafficked by her family to the UK as a child bride. An estimated 640 million girls and women alive today were married in childhood (UNICEF, 2023)Ever since that moment Ams has had lifelong commitment to combating human trafficking and modern slavery. She has worked in roles supporting survivors and advocating for basic human rights, with a focus on ending exploitation and empowering vulnerable communities.
