Medaille Trust Summer Magazine Focuses On Sir Mo Farah’s Story Of Being Trafficked As A Child

Medaille Trust , the UK-based modern slavery charity and partner of RENATE, have published a summer magazine with an emphasis on trafficking and exploitation.

The focus of this edition was sparked by the recently discovered past of four-time olympic gold medalist Sir Mo Farah, who publicly recounted his experience of being trafficked into the UK as a child and subjected to domestic servitude, a fact he had kept secret throughout his life and dazzling athletic career until July this year.

He was liberated from only when he confided his plight to his school teacher, who with the school authorities called on the intervention of social services to restore him to a safe and nurturing home.

Other stories of trafficking survivors receiving direct support from Medaille Trust can be heard in this edition.
