We’re still digesting the many conversations we were privileged to be part of at our 2026 conference looking at a human rights approach to modern slavery. You can listen back on our website. Meanwhile, here's a taster from the day. #modernslavery #humanrights #PECconference

[Modern Slavery and Human Rights PEC @SlaveryPEC]

We’re still buzzing from last week’s #PECconference to discuss human rights and survivor expertise being at the heart of policies against modern slavery and human trafficking. We had some challenging but vital conversations which we’re excited to continue.

[Alain Berset @alain_berset]

Grateful for a thoughtful discussion at @BonaveroIHR with @attorneygeneral Richard Hermer. We spoke about law, power and Europe’s future at a time when the rules of the established order are no longer self-evident. Faced with this rupture, Europe cannot afford a fragmented response. It is time to come together and ensure that the force of law takes precedence over the law of force.

Thanks to all who came to #PECconference to discuss a human rights approach to modern slavery. We covered a lot: centring survivors, Fair Work Agency, human rights in business, and National Referral Mechanism. The discussions felt powerful and necessary. Let’s keep them going.
