Watch Sally Irwin speak live about starting The Freedom Hub, a Sydney survivor school and cafe that helps victims of modern slavery.
Sally Irwin is an inspiring individual. When we interviewed her last year, we were stunned to learn that slavery is still very much present in Australian society.
Sally's organization, The Freedom Hub, is doing everything it can to support those who have survived such deplorable experiences. The Freedom Hub Survivor School trains survivors to join the workforce in industries such as hospitality, while profits from The Freedom Hub Café and Event Venue go towards funding the school and the cause.
When she joined us as a speaker at Typsy Live, Sally enlightened our audience on the realities of fighting slavery through a social enterprise. It’s a riveting talk, and we have just released it in full.
Thanks for reporting a problem. We'll attach technical data about this session to help us figure out the issue. Which of these best describes the problem?
Any other details or context?
After volunteering with charities and contributing in any way she could, Sally returned home to Australia – only to discover that modern slavery was also occurring there.
"What I tried to do with my cafe was come up with a new model for solving a social issue."
