It's #AntiSlaveryDay! Sharing this today as it's a hidden problem but growing massively in UK and worldwide. I'm really proud of all the work @salvationarmyuk have done this year to support survivors. Follow them to find out how to support #wearenotforsale
We’ve uncovered a shocking truth about the extent of modern slavery in the UK: our new analysis shows that for every person successfully rescued and offered support, at least seven more remain trapped and exploited. Learn more: https://t.co/id4eA7INSz (1/4)
Agatha Christie had a habit of studying things so intensely that she accidentally became an expert. One time she asked an archeologist, “Who is the world’s leading authority on Mesopotamian pottery? I need to ask them a question.”
The archeologist said, “YOU are.”
If we deny victims of #ModernSlavery help it will:
➡️Deliver victims back into the hands of criminals
➡️Fail to break the cycle of exploitation
➡️Feed the criminal gangs who profit from trafficking people
➡️Undermine the UK’s world leading approach to tackling modern slavery
Lots of charities starting or growing their digital fundraising so far this year (yey! 🙌) and asking about support.
So here is a thread 🧵 on where I normally signpost people to (please add your own):
