Osoyegbon is the Nigerian name of Gloria Patrick, which fittingly translates in English as I am not a slave. Gloria, lead artist, is a woman who was trafficked to the UK from Nigeria with the promise of a better life; being instead trapped into sexual exploitation, physical, emotional, and psychological abuse before finding sanctuary in a safe house as well as the beginning of the kind of support that she needed. Starting from Gloria’s lived experience, Osoyegbon is an animated short-film and engagement project to raise awareness around sexual abuse, modern slavery and mental health among young people and the adults in their life.
