In case you missed it in the hustle & bustle of holidays, check out our latest issue of the Journal of Modern Slavery -- a special issue with @AntislaveryERA

[HumanTraffickingFdn @HumanTraffFdn]

Submissions to the APPG's inquiry in May revealed legal services for human trafficking victims in the UK are depleting. We are very concerned that these new measures have now put services, on which survivors rely to access justice and support, in jeopardy https://t.co/O6RGsuDQi1

[INOSAAR @inosaar]

“What we have seen in America is down to historians not telling the truth and avoiding certain details. It’s done as a means of protecting national pride. I call it false national pride.” @SirGeoffPalmer renews calls to reword Dundas statue in Edinburgh https://t.co/gfw2t9rNtn

We all need to be having serious conversations right now that last beyond the moment.

Just one more day! We think it's going to be a full house at our #AntiSlaveryDay2019 panel! Remember - this is about life in the UK after slavery. https://t.co/JwZnRDLMKI

[Dr. Minh Watson-Dang @minhspeakstruth]

Reporters (2/2): Look for the courageous story - living after exploitation NOT the trauma story. How would you feel telling the world about your deepest pains? Also, don't bait & switch us. It ain't cool.

[Dr. Minh Watson-Dang @minhspeakstruth]

Reporters (1/2) : you do an important job. We need you. We don’t all know how to write good stories for the public. But we need you to be better allies. Yes, I want publicity for our event. But no, we won’t have you talk to @empwrsurvivors members cuz you ask inappropriate Q’s.

[Antislavery Early Research Association @AntislaveryERA]

Another job opportunity!

[Survivor Alliance @empwrsurvivors]

Sometimes people ask us why survivors should be paid for their input. Because input = expert guidance and information; and expert guidance and info = expertise; and as a society, we pay all kinds of people for their expertise. Their expertise as cobblers, football players, etc.
