Human Trafficking and Modern Slavery

Human trafficking and modern slavery is abuse. It is illegal, but it continues to flourish in every large town and city in the UK (NCA, 2017). There is no 'typical' victim of modern slavery. Victims can be men, women, and children of all ages, ethnicities, nationalities and backgrounds.

Human trafficking is the illegal movement of people through force, fraud or deception, with the intention of exploiting them through forced labour, sexual exploitation or criminal activity.

Someone is in slavery if they are forced to work, if they are owned or controlled by an employer, if they are dehumanised and treated as a commodity, or bought and sold as 'property', or if they are physically constrained or have restrictions placed on their freedom of movement.
