Our director

Lois Bosatta is the Director of The Clewer Initiative. She came from the University of Nottingham’s Rights Lab where she has been the Head of Business Development and Partnerships for the last four years. In this role, she focused on research delivery, partnership development, fundraising and impact. Prior to that, Lois completed the University of Nottingham’s Masters in Slavery and Liberation.
 
Lois’ passion for fighting modern slavery and human trafficking began in 2012 when she became aware of the work of various anti-trafficking organisations and activists through a documentary shown at her student church. Since then, she has pursued knowledge, experience and commitment to this cause, motivated by her personal faith. This has included active leadership in missional community projects, street outreach and family support with survivors of slavery. More recently, she has supported the work of Adavu, a post-NRM survivor support charity founded by the Methodist church, becoming a trustee in 2023.
