Standing with 400+ survivors of Mohamed Fayed. Demanding accountability from #Harrods, every institution that looked the other way and every complicit enabler.
“I now have 3 daughters of my own, one is almost the age I was when I first experienced the predatory advances of Fayed, and it makes me ill to think they could ever go through that. Time to call all those who aided the exploitation of women at the hands of Fayed to account.”
Meet Paula:
“After hearing of the death of Mohamed Al Fayed, I felt this overwhelming frustration and upset that I did not see justice for what he and Harrods put me through between the ages of 21 to 26.”

“Some may ask why I did not speak up sooner, but those who knew Fayed and the way in which everyone around him was complicit, there was a very real sense of fear for your career, personal safety and the safety of those close to you.”
Meet Roz:
I stand united along with other Harrods survivors, having spent 30 years living with the fear and incredible shame that ensured I never told my story and I remained silent from a huge powerful institutional brand.

Meet Catherine:
“I will stand with #J4FHS and all survivors as we seek justice and to raise awareness of the systematic abuse that I and countless other survivors endured at the hands of Fayed under the name of Harrods.”

Meet Joanna:
“For over 30 years this evil predator used his power, wealth and a culture of fear to torment, humiliate, sexually abuse and violently assault hundreds of young women."

A statement from our Co-Chairs.
Survivors are being asked to trust institutions that failed them before, and that trust has to be earned, not assumed.
We are grateful to the APPG for the scrutiny they are applying as the Met and IOPC continue their work.

21 women approached the Met about Mohamed Fayed before he died, and he was never prosecuted.
MPs are now right to ask whether the current investigation, and the historic failures that preceded it, are being scrutinised as rigorously as survivors deserve.

Thank you to @taskforceonht and Dame Karen Bradley for today's survivor-led session.
Our Co-Chairs were proud to contribute, bringing lived experiences of how Fayed's abuse was enabled directly to international lawmakers.
Accountability must now be shaped by the people it failed.
Today we convened one of the most consequential webinars we have ever hosted: Survivor-Led Policy Solutions to Stop Elite Human Trafficking Networks.
Survivor leaders @HGreen8385 and @J4FHS with direct experience of exploitation connected to the Epstein and Fayed networks presented first-hand testimony and specific policy proposals — addressing gaps in legislation, cross-jurisdictional enforcement failures, victim support frameworks, and accountability for those who abuse positions of power. We are grateful to Dame Karen Bradley MP for her leadership in planning this event as well as the many international lawmakers who participated and UN Special Rapporteur Katerina Swartz, OSCE Special Representative @SRKariJohnstone Johnstone, and Inter-Parliamentary Union President @TuliaAckson.
Human trafficking is the fastest-growing criminal enterprise in the world. It funds terrorism, armed conflict, and gender apartheid. It is a borderless crime, and synergistic laws across nations are a key to stopping it.

We also welcome having other survivor leaders submit an impact statement and policy recommendation here: https://t.co/WmAKurIYRh
Thank you to MasterWord for sponsoring this critical conversation, and to every lawmaker, official, and survivor leader who participated.

Cheska is one of our incredible survivors and we simply could not be prouder of her.
Thank you @TheCrimeAgents for giving her the space to speak so powerfully. Survivors deserve answers, accountability and justice. ❤️
There is so much more still to come.

“They have collectively ruined so many women’s lives”
Mohamed Al-Fayed died before ever facing justice. Cheska Hill-Wood, a survivor of his abuse, tells @AndyHughesCrime why the police must investigate those who enabled and protected him
The Crime Agents on @globalplayer 🎧
🚨 New episode alert!
Why was Mohamed Al-Fayed protected for so long? @AndyHughesCrime & Neil hear from survivor Cheska Hill-Wood about abuse, cover-ups and the powerful people accused of helping him evade scrutiny
Listen & watch The Crime Agents on @globalplayer 🎧
21 women went to the Met before Fayed died, but he was never charged. Today it's announced 1 serving and 4 former Met officers are being investigated for misconduct over how those reports were handled.
There is more to come.

"Harrods are marking their own homework."
400+ survivors. Dozens of enablers still free, still unaccountable. 4 individuals interviewed under caution by the Met. The internal report? Still hidden.
This is not accountability.
This is damage limitation.
https://t.co/jROUXEN9a7
With cross-party parliamentary support, a @metpoliceuk investigation, and meeting @Keir_Starmer soon- #J4FHS's message to every institution & every enabler who looked the other way is the same regardless of politics: we are coming for the truth, and we won't stop until we get it.
Grateful to the Leader of the Opposition @KemiBadenoch for taking the time to meet with #J4FHS survivors and the journalist whose investigation exposed the scandal, @KeatonStone, to hear first-hand about the fight for justice and accountability.

Survivors of abuse at the hands of Mohamed Al-Fayed have criticised the decision to close the Harrods compensation scheme to new applicants.
Al-Fayed, who died in 2023, owned Harrods for 25 years and is suspected of having raped or sexually abused hundreds of women.
Survivors says the compensation scheme should remain open to new applicants until a Met police investigation into Al-Fayed's alleged abuse, and Harrods own internal inquiry into what happened, have concluded.

It is imperative that the Metropolitan Police completes its inquiries and submits charges to the Crown Prosecution Service in the immediate future. In the meantime Harrods’ reputation remains tarnished - but then of course nobody is compelled to shop there! 3/3
