About this listen
One hundred and thirty-six thousand people in the UK are in some form of slavery. This is big business, generating more than £120 billion annually for criminal organisations across the world.
Stolen Lives examines trafficking and slavery in Britain, hearing from those on the front line, including the police and charities involved with support and recovery. Powerful and moving testimony from survivors reveals the individual stories behind the headlines and charts one young woman’s terrifying and ultimately inspiring journey to freedom and independence. Finally, it shows us what we can do to make a difference.
©2020 Louise Hulland (P)2020 Audible, LtdModern Slavery is a blight on the world, and particularly on Western Societies. This book not only shines a light on stories that so often go untold but it does so in the most compassionate, caring and sensitive way, without shying away from the detail that we all need to be aware of.
We all need to know more about this issue, we all need to care more about it, we all need to start doing more. Through intelligent, informative journalism such as this we will hopefully raise the profile of modern slavery and people trafficking as issues, and get those with the power to do most about to take it more seriously.
I don’t just ask you all to read this book, I implore you. It will open your mind to things that you almost certainly haven’t thought about enough.
A must read.
The most important book of the year.

Having excellent read books on modern slavery in the global context by siddarth kara, this was a significant companion with a focus on the UK. It's heartbreaking how the odds are so stacked against the victims, and even more so how those in positions of power who should be helping them don't listen or don't care.
Particularly disturbing was the story of J, which was so shocking and unbelievable it occurred in this country in the 21st century. She was abused from such a young age and subsequently blamed for it; let down so poorly by social care, family and the police.It's a wonder she was able to get out from the situation and had such strength to go on and make something from her life.
Throughout the book it seems as though one of the few beacons of hope and kindness is the Salvation Army. After listening to this I made a small but hopefully useful donation to them.
As an aside, the reading by the author (also a BBC radio presenter) was top notch - clear and emotive, particularly given the content.
