The sex slave who changed my life: Mira Sorvino's heartrending mission to end human trafficking... and how recycled bras have saved dozens of desperate women

She is a glamorous Hollywood star who has graced hundreds of red carpets.
But the cause closest to Mira Sorvino's heart is a long journey from the bright lights of Tinseltown and into the dark world of human trafficking.
In a moving interview with Mail Online, she told how one heartrending meeting with an imprisoned sex slave had changed her life and made her even more determined to end the trade she branded a 'hideous scourge'.
The 45-year-old described coming face-to-face with the woman, who was wrongly locked-up for killing the man who had taken her captive when she was 16.
Despite the real murderer confessing to the crime, she had still spent much of her youth in a jail cell.
She had also endured years of horrific abuse at the hands of the human trafficker. He would routinely threaten her with black magic and say he would murder members of her family.
‘Although she had wanted to commit suicide, she did not,’ Mira said. ‘She told me “I have nothing left to give on this earth, beside staying on and enduring to keep my brother alive.’
‘To see in her eyes deep, excoriating pain and yet to hear no bitterness in her words, after spending her entire youth incarcerated for a crime someone else ultimately confessed to, was extraordinary.’
‘More extraordinary still was her commitment to help others and become a fighter of this hideous scourge.’
Mira’s latest project is CNN documentary Mozambique or Bust which features the pioneering work of a small American charity Free The Girls.

The project was set up to help victims of human trafficking in an innovative and highly unusual way – by sending bras to Mozambique where they can be sold by freed sex slaves.
Set up by Denver housewife Kimba Langas, who thought her appeal for unwanted lingerie would only have moderate success.
But she was completely overwhelmed when women sent her 20,000 bras but was then faced with the fresh challenge of getting them shipped to Africa.
The problem was when Paul Jarzombek, the CEO of shipping company LR International stepped in and offered free transportation from Chicago to Maputo.
‘Kimba is an amazing person, a stay-at-home mom with a dream and gumption as big as the sky’, Mira said.
‘She proves that there are no limitations to what we can do to fight slavery if we put our minds and hearts to it.’
The actress said that the idea of selling bras was both surprising and inspirational.

‘I like the idea that these are items that would exclusively be bought by women, so that the women and girls selling them wouldn’t have to sell them to me, and possibly be intimidated or retrafficked by them.
‘They are being set up to succeed, in a safe zone. I think it was a great, genius idea and proves that you don’t need money to fight human trafficking.
‘Kimba’s story shows that you do not need special expertise. Everyone has something that they can do.’
The documentary features the stories of two women, Tashina, who was trafficked when she was 15, and Ofelia who became a sex slave when she was 12.
Both are now selling Free The Girls bras and supporting themselves. ‘We lived in darkness,’ Tashina said before talking optimistically about the future.
For the women of Mozambique, bras are a difficult item to acquire and highly-coveted. The people  who sell them make about three time the living wage.
Mira, 45, said she was particularly moved by Tashina’s devotion to her child.
The project was the brainchild of American housewife Kimba Langas

‘As a mom of four, I relate to her quest to make sure her daughter’s life does not follow the same terrible road hers did,’ she said.
‘She is an incredibly brave and beautiful person’.
The Mighty Aphrodite actress was first exposed to the issue of modern-day slavery as a spokesman for Amnesty International’s campaign Stop Violence Against Women three years ago.
But she says it was meeting survivors of modern day slavery and human trafficking that really spurred her to take up the cause.  
She was asked to become a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), something she considers a great honour.
‘I was thrilled with the reach and gravitas of the position,’ she said. ‘It has been one of the most challenging and rewarding things I have ever undertaken.’
Mira said that she would encourage people to get involved in grassroots projects like Free The Girls and urged people to get in touch with organisations battling to end sex trafficking.
‘She said: 'A first step could be a call to the National Human Trafficking Resource Center, a 24/7 hotline that not only is a highly effective tipline that leads to the rescue of thousands of trafficking victims, but an informational hub for those who want to get involved in the fight to end slavery. 
'They have a grid of nationwide abolitionist groups, so you can find one in your area that will appreciate your specific skill set.
'If people would like to donate funds, no sum is too small to begin helping victims across the globe; the UN's Voluntary Trust Fund for the Victims of Human Trafficking gives grants to meticulously vetted NGOs that work directly with victims, providing them with rescue and rehabilitation to reclaim their lives; as we see with Free the Girls does, these non-governmental organisations that can do truly miraculous things.'

The lower cost of sterling silver is quite appealing, but that is not all that draws people to this type of jewelry. Many find the distinctive look of their silver jewelry helps them stand out in a crowd and still look just as elegant as their friends and family.

Harry and society model 'kissing like teens' in restaurant during Swiss ski holiday: Prince bounces blonde Cressida on his knee as diners watch in astonishment

High above the Swiss snowline, the temperature is rising. Locked in a tight embrace on the slopes of the Verbier ski resort yesterday, Prince Harry and his society girlfriend Cressida Bonas seem to be closer than ever.
The very public display of affection, in front of dozens of fellow skiers, came only a few hours after even more intimate revelries at a restaurant in the town.
It was not a wild night by Harry’s standards; no one was naked or wearing Nazi fancy dress.

But fellow diners in the wee small hours  at the Pot Luck Club restaurant in the resort’s Farinet Hotel were entertained by the sight of the Prince bouncing the 24-year-old blonde model and would-be actress on his knee.
The pair were said to have ‘kissed like love-struck teenagers in the back of a cinema’.
The other end of the same table was an altogether more sober affair. Harry’s uncle, Prince Andrew, whose 53rd birthday on Tuesday they were celebrating, sat with his ex-wife, Sarah, Duchess of York, and their two daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.
 
Eugenie’s boyfriend, Jack Brooksbank, briefly strolled over chatted to Harry and Cressida. But for the most part they had eyes only for each other. The Yorks  traditionally enjoy a week’s skiing in the resort every year to mark Prince Andrew’s birthday, often inviting photographers to capture the event. This time, perhaps not unsurprisingly, the invitation was not extended.
The family had booked a table for 20 at The Pot Luck, where they ordered steak and king prawns and drank £17 champagne cocktails.

As the night drew on, Harry and his socialite girlfriend became increasingly tactile.
Shortly before midnight, Miss Bonas, who wore a minuscule black dress and heels, showing off a pair of endless legs, stood up and walked over to sit on Harry’s lap.
The pair then began to kiss, with Harry stroking the back of her head as they did so, in a passionate clinch for several minutes.
A witness said: ‘We couldn’t believe what we were seeing. They were not being discreet about it.
‘The Duchess of York and Eugenie sat just a few seats away at the time and seemed to be deliberately looking the other way, making polite conversation while it was happening.
‘Afterwards, Harry’s girl stayed sitting on his knee while they chatted to his friends.’
The diner went on to reveal: ‘At one point, a waiter brought over a tray of vodka and Red Bull and Harry shouted: “Free drinks on the house!” Everyone seemed to be having a great time.’
Although Prince Andrew left shortly afterwards, the younger royals went on to an exclusive bar above the restaurant, before moving to a basement nightclub, where they stayed until 3.30am.
Despite the late night, however, Harry and Cressida still hit the slopes yesterday morning and were again seen openly hugging and kissing on the slopes, which were packed with half-term visitors.
Both appeared to be extremely competent skiers and spent most of the day on the mountain.

At one point, taking a break from their fun, Harry was seen putting his arms around Cressida’s waist while she rested her head on his shoulder.
The student, who wore a white woolly hat with a fur bobble and pink salopettes, appeared relaxed and could be seen laughing with the Duchess of York as they left the slopes.
She and Eugenie were also seen lying on the snow and giggling as they played with a large St Bernard dog.
Last summer’s disastrous Las Vegas stag trip, during which Harry, now 28, was pictured naked — a faux pas which reportedly led to him being dumped briefly by a furious Cressida — seems a very long time ago now.
So, for that matter, does his previous, long-term relationship with the Zimbabwean heiress Chelsy Davy, who dumped him in 2011, reportedly because she could not face the prospect of being in the spotlight as a royal wife.
Since Vegas, Harry, in his guise of Captain Wales of the Army Air Corps, has served a four-month tour of Afghanistan as a co-pilot in an Apache attack helicopter.
At the end of his service he talked of having a new maturity. A few months earlier, he had complained on American television that he would like to settle down, but girls were put off by his royal status.
So, do this week’s events in  Verbier suggest matters are getting serious between him and the Stowe-educated Miss Bonas?
The couple are said to have started dating last May, though they only appeared as an item on the public radar when pictured leaving a Mayfair nightclub in July.

They had spent the evening ‘kissing and cuddling’ inside Le Salon after attending the latest Batman premiere.
Harry’s cousin and Miss Bonas’s good friend Princess Eugenie is said to have brought them together.
The daughter of renowned Old Harrovian businessman Jeffrey Bonas and Sixties model Lady Mary Curzon — who posed semi-naked for a coffee table photographic book and went on to get married and divorced four times — Cressida is a familiar figure in London’s upper-class social scene.
As a teenager, she was labelled by society bible Tatler as ‘really pretty, really nice and absolutely obsessed with Eva Cassidy (the late American singer)’.
After splitting up with Miss Davy, Harry was linked to a string of women, including model Florence Brudenell-Bruce. But Cressida seems to be the one he has been most smitten with.

Like Miss Davy, ‘Cressie’ went to Leeds University where she dated Harry Wentworth-Stanley, son of the Marchioness of Milford Haven. After graduation, that relationship cooled. Now she has a prince in her life.
Last year she and Harry flew together to the Caribbean island of Necker for the birthday of tycoon Sir Richard Branson’s son Sam, who is engaged to be married to Miss Bonas’s beautiful half- sister, the actress Isabella Anstuther-Gough-Calthorpe.
This week’s ski holiday, to which the Prince had flown on budget airline easyJet, is significant in royal terms for more than one reason.
It is the first time in many, many years that Harry has been seen in public with the snubbed Duke of York’s ex-wife.
Sarah was robustly frozen out by the Royal Family after being photographed having her toes sucked by her ‘financial adviser’ in the South of France, an incident which precipitated her divorce from Prince Andrew.
And despite enjoying a close relationship with Harry and his brother William while they were growing up, they had little to do with Sarah after she fell out with their mother Diana, Princess of Wales, shortly before her death.
Andrew, however, has always championed his ex-wife and, despite the fact that she was pointedly not invited to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s wedding, will no doubt be feeling pleased that his nephew Harry is rekindling their relationship once again, thanks to Cressida.
So, a thaw in royal relations. Miss Bonas seems to be melting hearts.

A flying visit! Katie Holmes masters the art of travelling light as she jets into LA with just her carry on luggage

Most stars find it hard to travel light, but Katie Holmes has the art of minimal packing down, taking one small carry on for her flight out of New York on Thursday.
Despite flying coast to coast, the 34-year-old is clearly not planning a long trip away as she bought with her just a handbag and one small barely half full duffel bag.

While the thought of not bringing much luggage, or in many celebrities' cases many shoes with them, would be a nightmare for most, for the mother of one - six-year-old Suri - it is obviously liberating.
The Thank You For Not Smoking star looked in good spirits as she dashed into JFK airport even breaking into a full smile, and not her infamous half smile which has been the subject of many jokes around Hollywood.
Looking relaxed and comfortable, Katie donned a baggy lemon knit sweater over a white shirt with blue bootleg jeans and tan cowboy boots.

The actress shaded her eyes with round heavy framed glasses and wore her dark brown hair flowing loosely past her shoulders.
Just a few hours later, Katie touched down in Los Angeles and added a light weight blue coat to her ensemble, which had conveniently fit inside her small duffel bag.
As she was helped through the terminal Katie glowed as her complexion, as always, was flawless which is lucky as the actress has just been announced as the new face of Bobbi Brown make-up.

In addition to donning the iconic make-up brand, Katie attributes her great skin to three things.

She told Elle on Thursday:
'I drink a lot of water. I do hot yoga to sweat all the toxins out. And I love masks. I sleep in an SK-II Treatment Mask. Every night!
'And I use the Dr. Hauschka Firming and Rejuvenating masks.
'I like to do them during Skype calls with my friends, just to keep it real. Face time.'
However, Katie's skin care regime - water aside - does not come keep with the SK-II masks costing over $120 for ten.
But obviously the star thinks it makes a difference as she glowed as she walked through the airport solo.
Little Suri was not with her mother as she was attending school.
Last week the six-year-old had jetted via helicopter to see her father, Tom Cruise, who split from Katie last year. Katie has full custody of Suri while her famous actor husband has generous visitation rights.
Earlier this month, the Jack Reacher star, 50, sold his condo in New York City's East Village neighborhood for a reported $3 million.
He had shared the home with both Katie and second wife Australian actress Nicole Kidman.
