JUST LIFE - Simon John & Mark Little MBE - Set the Downtrodden Free: Modern Slavery on the Feast of Josephine Bakhita

Today Simon is joined by fellow Modern Slavery advocate Mark Little who received an MBE from the Queen for his work fighting modern slavery worldwide. Simon looks at the life of St Josephine Bakhita, who was herself a slave and is the patron saint of human trafficking and whose feast the Church celebrates on 8th Feburary, and what it is that inspires him to fight for the enslaved, whilst Mark shares some cases of slavery in Nepal and India where much of his work has been based.
