Ten years ago, the Modern Slavery Act was introduced with the purpose of protecting the most vulnerable and putting an end to exploitation. Yet a decade on, modern slavery has not disappeared. It remains a hidden crime—happening in our communities, on our streets, and sometimes even in plain sight.
This Anti-Slavery Week, we are hosting an event to shine a light on this reality. We will reflect on the progress made, confront the challenges that remain, and explore the ways we can all be part of the solution.
The event will focus on the real impact of modern slavery in our local community, and you will hear powerful accounts of survivors.
Change begins when we refuse to look away. Join us as we mark ten years of the Modern Slavery Act, honour survivors’ voices, and commit to building a future free from exploitation and slavery.
