At our last Speaker Meetng, Hannah Flint from “Stop the Traffik” came to talk to us about the work of the organisation. Modern Day Slavery and Exploitation is a big problem globally but particularly in the UK. Modern Day Slavery can take many forms – sexual exploitation, forced labour, domestic servitude, forced criminality involving growing, carrying and selling drugs in particular. Other forms of Modern Day slavery in the UK are victims of forced marriage, sham marriage, street sex workers, (e.g “pop-up” brothels in Manchester). Help is available but requires the victim to be aware of this help and be able to access it. There is a National Referral Mechanism, funded by the Government, where victims can access legal aid, counselling and support workers to help them through the process. The Salvation Army and other organisations are also involved. Hannah explained her role in the “Stop the Traffik” organisation
