Good news from the Helpline. As a result of the Helpline intervening in a case, a potential victim's deportation flight was cancelled & he has now been entered into the National Referral Mechanism for support. This is why we do what we do! Advice/report concerns đź“ž 08000 121 700

"We need much more awareness of the true size of the problem, better support for victims, and many more resources...Instead, the UK is bringing in new migration laws that criminalise some victims, forcing them underground" Well said @JustineCurrell

Great piece by @Daily_Express on the rise of #humantrafficking due to #Covid19, #climatechange & conflict. “Flooding, drought and other extreme weather is forcing millions from their homes, resulting in a growing number of people at risk”says @UnseenUK Director @JustineCurrell
A disturbing rise in human trafficking since the pandemic should be an “urgent wake up call” for governments, @Anti_Slavery told me. The ILO estimates 50m people are trapped in forced labour or a forced marriage. That’s up almost 10m on its numbers from 5 years ago.

Many people are displaced due to climate change, putting them in a vulnerable situation and making them susceptible to exploitation, trafficking and smuggling. -Justine Currell, Executive Director of Unseen @justinecurrell Listen back: https://t.co/2Jcm3To7uD

Warehouse distribution can be prone to #modernslavery, with its reliance on temporary labour often working long hours. Read our blog to help you reduce modern slavery risks across your organisation and suppliers: https://t.co/S3qXGSTd2N

Shocking that the Home Office cannot articulate what should be a very simple answer. There isn’t one!!
Tim Loughton(Tory MP) - I'm a 16 year old orphan, from an East African country, escaping a war zone & religious persecution, & I have a sibling legally in the UK... what is a safe & legal route for me to come to the UK? Suella Braverman flounders badly

Modern slavery manifests in different ways. In industries such as #logistics, where supply chains are complex, and labour is often temporary, #modernslavery can creep in easier than you might think. Are you aware of the risks? Find out more at: https://t.co/NZZ2fd9NrU

Although she didn’t realise it, Katherine* was a victim of #modernslavery for most of her adult life. Lies & threats of deportation kept her from seeking help. But thanks to one phone call & her bravery coming forward, she is now safe. Read her story at: https://t.co/3vRuvLZhTC

Six years ago today we opened MS & Exploitation Helpline. Over 35,000 calls & contacts and more than 10,000 referrals & signposts. Still committed to supporting the #vulnerable. Stop conflating #trafficking and #smuggling. MS victims need our protection @UnseenUK @justiceandcare

Any child is at risk of exploitation, yet our research reveals over 1/3 of #parents (38%) would not know what to do if their/a child had become involved in #CountyLines. If you’re a parent or work with #children, download our FREE guidance: https://t.co/3aeC0smqOa

Encouraging news from @UnseenUK on the increase of calls to their trafficking helpline since @Mo_Farah shared his story. "It gives those victims and survivors hope that they can continue to lead an independent life," said @JustineCurrell
bbc.co.uk
Trafficking charity Unseen says some callers said Sir Mo's story had inspired them to reach out.
