Survivors in Research leaflet

This leaflet was written by a member of our Research Advisory Board, Juliet Joseph. Here, she tells us more on why this leaflet is so important.

"I created the leaflet because from my experience, I know how it felt doing stuff on your own and not knowing what to do, who to go to. Before I got into research, I felt lost, I didn’t know anyone. Now I am no longer in modern slavery, I thought I should create a leaflet, not only to help survivors to get experience in research but to enable them to socialize with other people so they can start building their confidence.

Research may be something they want to do in the future, or it may not be, however this leaflet can lead them towards much more than research, but a professional life in which they can meet survivors and non-survivors.

I included visual guidelines to take you through the process:

Writing the leaflet it made me feel very motivated – by doing this it really motivated to me to know I could actually help someone to get along with their life and access further education. It gave me a purpose myself – after everything I’ve been through – to help someone else."
