@UnseenOrg Thank you so much for your support.

In the UK there are estimated thousands of modern slaves. Know what the signs are and if you see anything suspicious report it, you can do it really easily via the app Unseen #AntiSlaveryDay @oxford_ignite

For #AntiSlaveryDay 2018, we’ve made a short film to raise awareness about modern slavery. ‘Ruxi: The Road to Slavery’ examines the causes and consequences of human trafficking from the perspective of one survivor. Watch it here: https://t.co/p549vJouj9 #EndSlavery #RuxiShortFilm

Congratulations to @UnseenOrg and @BBCRadio4 for collaborating on this hugely important appeal. #EndSlavery #trafficking

[Unseen @UnseenUK]

Thanks to all who have donated to our @BBCRadio4 Appeal. If you missed it tune in today at 3.27pm and donate. The need is urgent. This year, nearly two-thirds of trafficked children are likely to disappear without trace. With your help we can end this. https://t.co/EmiFfkaoPn
