Sophie Otiende

Sophie is a survivor leader, a teacher, and a feminist who has worked within the human trafficking field for a number of years revolutionising the ways in which survivors are supported, protected, and involved within the counter-trafficking movement. She has been widely acknowledged for her work being named a Trafficking in Persons Hero by the US State Department in 2020. While work takes up a lot of Sophie’s time, she also loves to spend time with her family and friends. Her friends know that she sucks at board games even though she hasn’t quite recognised that herself, she still never shies away from a challenge. Sophie is also passionate about fashion, art, African literature and arguing about current affairs with her partner and she also regularly meets with her feminist collectives in Nairobi.
