SI SN President-Elect Pam Cairns was our Leader and we ended the day with a joint Scotland meal (SI Scotland South were also &#8216;staffing another UNGIFT box, nearby.) Our role on the day was to raise awareness amongst the general public about Human Trafficking whereby people are exploited for labour, for sex, for organ harvesting, forced marriage, forced begging and domestic servitude. In addition we collected more than 500 signatures for a petition for presentation to Kenny McAskill as part of the Stop the Traffik&#8217;s petition re transparency in the supply chain. And, do you know what UNGIFT stands for?
