Survivors of modern slavery tell stories of being sold a better life. They are often vulnerable, coming from areas where there is little possibility of work. They are offered a job, a chance to make money and to build a new life for themselves. Those who offer these opportunities may even organise their travel to a different country, controlling every aspect of their trip.\u00a0\u00a0The job they are offered turns out to be a lie and instead they are forced to work in difficult and degrading conditions, with little or no pay. The threat of violence, to themselves or their families, hangs over them and traps them in their situation. Even if their trafficker does not physically control them, a mistrust of authority may stop them from going to the police.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">This could be the reality for 136,000 men, women and children in the UK. Modern slavery knows no borders, and people of all ages and races can be victims. The 6,993 potential victims referred to the National Crime Agency in 2018 came from 130 different countries, the most common of which were the UK, Albania, and Vietnam.\u00a0<em>Ref: https:\/\/www.theclewerinitiative.org\/modern-slavery<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><em>Statistics are taken from the <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.globalslaveryindex.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Global Slavery Index<\/em><\/a><em> and the <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationalcrimeagency.gov.uk\/publications\/national-referral-mechanism-statistics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>National Crime Agency<\/em><\/a><em> (UK).<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Raising awareness of widespread and multiple forms of slavery is the first step during #16daysofactivism&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":403,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[35,36,37,58,33,60,31,20,19,59,61],"class_list":["post-4659","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news-2020","tag-35","tag-genderequality","tag-humanrights","tag-modernslavery","tag-orangethe-world","tag-peopleexploitation","tag-sigbi","tag-siweybridge","tag-soroptimists","tag-trafficking","tag-victims"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Abolish Modern Slavery - on Day 8 Soroptimists ask for your help | News | Blog | Events | SI Weybridge and District<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI Weybridge and District : Blog &amp; News : Abolish Modern Slavery - on Day 8 Soroptimists ask for your help : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI Weybridge and District .
