Trigger warning: In this episode there are descriptions of physical abuse. Anu George Canjanathoppil is the Executive Director of IJM Canada and joined IJM in 2011 as the Director of Legal in the Chennai office. In 2012, she led IJM’s Google-funded project to equip NGOs across India to rescue and rehabilitate bonded labor victims using IJM’s casework model. Her pioneering courage and innovation to build this project from scratch resulted in the rescue of 4,000 people in just three years. Anu’s story is like nothing you’ve ever heard. From a child with deep conviction, to a life marked by tragedy and heroism – she inspires all of us to use the fullness of our experiences as activists.
