🚨Modern slavery survivors are being turned away from compensation After Exploitation FOIs showed at least 82% of applications (1 Jan 23 - 23 June 24) were refused @UKAntiSlavery called this "horrendous and a clear failing": independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n… via @Holly_JoyB @Independent

📣 OUT TODAY 📣 Ready, Willing & Able: The cost of not allowing survivors in the NRM to work. Thousands of survivors are not allowed to work while waiting years for a decision. This new series shows how the UK has missed a trick by not letting them work kalayaan.org.uk/campaign-posts…

Similarly, the Illegal Migration Act now treats survivors as criminals for crossing borders, despite the fact many are forced, deceived or coerced to do so against their will *because* they have been trafficked. The Gov must rethink the way it puts survivors under the microscope

The Nationality & Borders Act introduced unrealistic evidential burdens on victims of modern slavery. The law discredits survivors for not providing evidence 'quickly enough', even where they've had no lawyer or support. Victims' criminal records are weaponised to deny them help

Great to hear that the Government is committed to making quicker decisions on modern slavery cases. However, ensuring decisions are fair - and survivors get meaningful support whilst in the system - is also key. Regressive laws harming support outcomes must be addressed. 🧵
Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner@UKAntiSlavery

"Survivors are having to wait far too long to receive the support they deserve and the recognition that they are victims of modern slavery." Read more IASC's comments here: tinyurl.com/2urjnkj8

A woman was sent back to prison for 3 months – earlier this year – as she missed a probation appointment 20 years ago. She now has 2 young children who went 12 weeks without their mum. Meanwhile, she lost her full-time job, despite committing no crime since. Is this justice?

My friend Natasha has been missing for 7 days She is 55 yr old transwoman, last seen in Soho on Friday at 2am wearing a white Chanel suit. I am asking if any editors or publications would be up for reposting or perhaps covering a small news story about her disappearance 🙏

Just in case you missed it: they WITHDREW the staff from the Rotherham hotel in advance of it being attacked & set fire to. But they left the people seeking asylum there to be attacked.

Absolute credit where due to dedicated people in the MOJ recording this information more reliably, and pushing for single points of contact (SPOCs) in prison. But more must be done to ensure prisons can refer / judges are equipped to recognise trafficking *before* sentencing

This data is the tip of the iceberg. Survivors forced into criminal activity are often treated as perps 1st, victims 2nd. Imprisonment is a huge barrier to recovery, and shows how the current criminal justice system simply cannot identify or navigate vulnerability⤵️

🔴 NEW EXCLUSIVE 🔴 Hundreds of modern slavery victims were in prison in the 15 months leading up to June this year, an exclusive investigation by me @openDemocracy and After Exploitation @Messlemont can reveal...
