Joanna Brittan (Audio); From Boarding School to Harrods: Joanna Brittan's Fight for Justice | The Locked up Living Podcast: Surviving and thriving in prisons and other challenging environments
This week we present two podcast conversations, featuring Bridgette Carr and Joanna Brittan. The conversations delve into the complex issues surrounding human trafficking, sexual abuse, and the broader implications of these topics on society. Both conversations highlight the importance of understanding the humanity of individuals affected by these issues, while also addressing systemic factors that contribute to their experiences. We suggest that you listen to Bridgette’s conversation first since it excellent international context for the events that Joanna Brittan describes from her own experience. Jo is a remarkable woman who has led an extraordinary life. She has been on our podcast before talking about abuse in UK private schools. Her description and understanding of the pain experienced by little children left in boarding school is painful to hear. She also speaks out about the sexual abuse which took place in Sherborne Prep School, in particular but not only, and how nobody was held to account despite the evidence. In this conversation she talks about her terrible experiences of being trafficked and abused by those involved with the activities of Harrods owners and staff. The abuses continued, though not to Joanna, until it was sold by Mohamed al Fayed in 2010. "I guess you could describe me as a campaigner for justice for Boarding School CSA Survivors. 2009 to date. Calling for the urgent introduction of Mandatory Reporting of CSA in UK which most of the the rest of the world has had for some time. You can see in Mandate Now https://mandatenow.org.uk/
