Slavery and human trafficking

 

What is human trafficking?

Human trafficking is the modern day form of slavery. It is the illegal trade in human beings for reasons such as sexual exploitation, forced labour, domestic servitude, forced criminal activity or removal of human organs. Children, women and men are held against their will, bought, sold and transported into slavery.

There are more slaves in the world today than at any other point in history; an estimated 40 million men, women and children. One in four slaves are children under 18. 

 

What we can do to help:

Migrant Help is one of the leading providers of specialist support and accommodation services for adult victims and their dependants in the UK. We have dedicated casework teams assisting victims in Scotland, Northern Ireland and England.

In England, we provide this service as a subcontractor to The Salvation Army under the Modern Slavery Victim Care contract. This client leaflet outlines what the service includes.

Our approach centred on each client's individual needs. We develop a support plan which provides all-round care with the aim of empowering our clients as they recover from the trauma they have endured. Ultimately, our main priorities are reducing the risk of re-trafficking and empowering our clients to gain in confidence and move forward to a new and positive chapter in their lives.

We are committed to helping victims feel safe, informed, supported and able to gain control over their lives again.

 

Our work includes:

  • providing safe accommodation
  • facilitating access to health services and counselling
  • emotional wellbeing
  • providing financial and practical assistance
  • assistance with accessing compensation
  • liaising with law enforcement
  • re-connecting with family
  • assistance with acquiring new identification documents
  • integration into the community or a safe and supported repatriation if requested

 

 

"Two years ago I had nothing. No food and nowhere to live. I’d managed to shower maybe twice a year. Now, thanks to Migrant Help, I have safe accommodation, new clothes and they have helped me see doctors for my health problems. Most of all, they have listened to me. I’m so thankful for everything they’ve done. They’re like a family to me now." - Cristian
