Modern slavery is the illegal exploitation of people for personal or commercial gain. It covers a wide range of abuse and exploitation including sexual exploitation, domestic servitude, forced labour, criminal exploitation and organ harvesting.
Victims of modern slavery can be any age, gender, nationality and ethnicity. They are tricked or threatened into work and may feel unable to leave or report the crime through fear or intimidation. They may not recognise themselves as a victim.
do they look scruffy, malnourished or injured? are they acting anxious, afraid or unable to make eye contact? are they doing long hours, wearing unsuitable clothing or have the wrong equipment for the job? is where they are living overcrowded, poorly maintained or are the curtains always closed? do they behave like they’re being instructed by someone else, picked up/dropped off at the same time and place every day or don’t have access to money or identification?
If you recognise any of the above signs and suspect someone may be a victim of modern slavery, tell someone.
