About the Book

To mark our 25th anniversary, AFRUCA is proud to present Through The Eyes of Survivors: Exploring AFRUCA’s 25 Years of Anti-Trafficking Work.

This powerful and moving publication features the personal accounts, thoughts, and reflections of 25 former and present AFRUCA service users. Through their own words, survivor-participants courageously map their unique journeys toward escape, rescue, and freedom.

The narratives offer a raw, insightful look into:

• The Lived Reality: Personal experiences of child trafficking, modern slavery, and exploitation.

• Navigating Systems: The complex challenges of moving through government support systems and fighting to access justice for the violation of basic rights.

• The Power of Support: Candid feedback on AFRUCA’s specialised services during times of profound vulnerability, exploring how transformative, culturally responsive and survivor-centered support aids recovery, safety, and long-term independence.

"AFRUCA remains as essential today as it did 25 years ago. There has been progress but there is still a long way to go to tackle modern slavery. AFRUCA is as relevant and essential as ever in being part of the solution."

— Dame Meg Hillier, MP for Hackney South and Shoreditch
