I am Clare Mathias. I live in Surrey with my husband Chris, a few horses and a few dogs. For many years the Mathias family has worked to prevent the trafficking of young people in India through the initiatives of the Hummingbird Foundation. The understanding that I have gained through this work leads me to a deep appreciation of the professional and strategic approach taken by the British Asian Trust to combat marginalisation, lack of opportunity, equality and gender discrimination to name a few of the vulnerabilities which cause widespread exploitation.
