International Cult Awareness Month: Sarah - a podcast by Sarah Steel

from 2023-08-15T14:15:56

:: ::

Sarah is a cult survivor, domestic violence survivor, and a survivor of trafficking and modern slavery. She wouldn’t have been able to name these things as she was experiencing them, or even for some time in the aftermath. Like many cult survivors, Sarah can draw a line between the coercive behaviours that she experienced in the high-demand organisation she was brought up in,KwaSizabantu, and the coercive behaviours of those who abused and exploited her later in life.


Now Sarah uses her experiences to advocate for change. She is a fierce defender of the rights of others and has recently launchedSurvivor Connections, a resource she built alongside survivors for others who have experienced exploitation to assist them with all the things she wishes she knew earlier on.
