For many years, Soroptimists have raised awareness about Modern Day Slavery and trafficking, so we are pleased to share this online course prepared by The Clewer Initiative – Women in the Shadows. Please see the following message from Bishop Alastair Redfern, The Clewer Initiative.
The above course is now ready to download on The Clewer Initiative website –
www.theclewerinitiative.org /womenintheshadows
Everything you will need is online and is a resource to use during Lent.
The focus of the course is how women and girls can become
trapped in sexual exploitation, forced labour and county lines drug
smuggling and what life is like for them beyond slavery. It also
explores how we can support victims as they recover from the trauma and
build resilient communities where modern slavery is noticed and cannot
thrive.
It is so important that we raise awareness of the suffering of
marginalised women in the UK and we pray that through this course and
season of Lent, we may be able to reach more people with this important
message.
Could you help us do this? Is there anyone you could tell about the
course? Could you spread the word in your community? Could you share our
tweets on your social media channels?
We are so grateful for your support and partnership – if you need any
further information about modern slavery in the UK, please go to our
website where there is a range of brilliant resources to help raise
awareness of modern slavery and equip the local church and community to
get involved.
Best wishes
Bishop Alastair Redfern
