It's time to see past our differences and remember what connects us. When we realise where our strength lies - in each other - that's when change happens. Join us - join.greenparty.org.uk








We like to think that the Government deals with the problem by identifying and protecting survivors, whilst working to send perpetrators to prisons. Well, the reality is much more complicated. Today we published a new report shedding light on this issue, carried out by the @Uni_of_Essex in partnership with @IOM_UK and @hibiscuscharity. It found that there are many modern slavery survivors imprisoned across the UK, many of them convicted for crimes they committed as a result of modern slavery, and that the scale of this issue is likely larger than currently known. The research analysed the challenges with identification of survivors in prisons and with the lack of support for them. The research was funded by @SlaveryPEC, which in turn is funded and supported by @ahrcpress. Read the full story on the research on our website: modernslaverypec.org/latest/groundb…
