Powerful piece by @AndreaEganGS. Under the new 'earned settlement' proposals, migrant workers are being punished for policies that they don’t control, including low wages, which are only low because the government refuses to fund care work properly. See the issue here?

Don’t miss our very own Jo White on @BBC Radio 4 tonight at 8pm in #AbusedForOurFood, an eye-opening episode uncovering labour exploitation on UK farms. https://t.co/QmBNNMxeDS #BBC #Radio4

We are calling on the @UKLabour government to end the use of #TiedVisas. These visas tie workers to specific employers, putting them at serious risk of exploitation and preventing them from fully exercising their employment rights. Read our report today: https://t.co/jf7Xtm4xSJ

I’m looking forward to speaking at the Trafficking Compensation Action Group this evening. Recovery of compensation from a trafficker is a rarity and not a norm for survivors of trafficking and modern slavery. I’ll be talking about what govt should be doing to change this

[ATLEU @ATLEUnit]

Don’t forget! Just one day until our next Trafficking Compensation Action Group meeting. If you’re a practitioner supporting survivors to access compensation, join us tomorrow at 6.00pm, at Cloisters Chambers, 1 Pump Ct, Temple, London EC4Y 7AS
See you there!

🚨 The real emergency? Survivors of human trafficking and exploitation are left to face destitution, or worse, a return to exploitation. See how we’re fighting hostile policies: https://t.co/XEicIFQARU

Celebrating International Domestic Workers’ Day and calling on the government to live up to promises made in opposition: restore the original Overseas Domestic Worker visa and advance safety, rights and justice for migrant domestic workers

[ATLEU @ATLEUnit]

Today on International Domestic Workers’ Day, we and @FocusOnLabour ask the UK government to listen to the voices of migrant domestic workers and reinstate their right to escape abuse by switching employers.

10 years of the Modern Slavery Act and still so far from evidenced-based and survivor informed law and policies to tackle trafficking and modern slavery. New @ATLEUnit blog includes reflections from one of ATLEU’s Changemakers on what needs to change

[ATLEU @ATLEUnit]

10 years after the #ModernSlaveryAct, still so much to do. Read our new blog, with reflections from a survivor in our Changemakers group on problems needing to be fixed to create fair, compassionate, efficient systems protecting people from #exploitation https://t.co/hDzVmfHuGz

@JulianBild @ATLEUnit Aww thank you Julian! I feel lucky I got to work with you for two years 😘

We are very excited to have been shortlisted for an #AntiSlaveryDayAwards2024! (And also curious as to who nominated us 🤣 - thank you) Proud to stand alongside fabulous colleagues on the list including @Messlemont and @marissadb1225 😘

[ATLEU @ATLEUnit]

Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme is failing survivors of trafficking and modern slavery: routinely denying them compensation that is crucial to their recovery. Thanks to @AfterExpProject for their must read report on this issue: https://t.co/WRkJK523x7

[Kate Elsayed-Ali @ElsayedKate]

Always grateful to @ATLEUnit clients for their bravery and resilience. Inspires me daily

[ATLEU @ATLEUnit]

One woman’s bravery & persistence can change the law. Our founding member & director Victoria Marks recently shared Mrs P's story of her long & bureaucratic journey towards justice for herself & other exploited domestic workers. Read Victoria's speech here https://t.co/6U61NTFjQd

@JulianBild We stop banging on about it. No one applies. You dont get allowed to retire. Remember? 😘

[Kate Elsayed-Ali @ElsayedKate]

@hyjpang_ @libertyhq You will be missed Jun! Thank you so much for all you have done - you are an awesome campaigner and coordinator and it has been such a pleasure to work with you. You will be an epic solicitor xx

[ATLEU @ATLEUnit]

A case brought by our client successfully challenged the adverse impact of the financial threshold for legal aid, which would have forced them to choose between their recovery and access to justice. Thanks to @dongreene at @DoughtyStreet for his help. https://t.co/xY5RlxCwSF

[ATLEU @ATLEUnit]

The #RwandaBill rips basic human rights away from people seeking safety in the UK, incl survivors of #trafficking, puts everyone’s rights at risk & places Gov above the law
Today @ATLEUnit joins 250+ orgs working to protect people’s rights calling on House of Lords to reject it

[Emily Dugan @emilydugan]

This is the story of how one man found himself homeless in York station in crippling debt after coming from Indonesia to pick berries on a seasonal worker visa.

His experience forms a test case brought by @ATLEUnit against the government over the scheme
