Caring for the vicitims of slavery

At the heart of Freedom Trust’s objectives is caring for the victims of slavery. This will present a significant challenge because the nature of slavery today makes it secretive, controlling the lives of slaves by fear. The victims of slavery are often hidden away and those who are not live in fear. Language barriers also contribute to the challenge – many slaves in the UK for example are unable to communicate in English – another fact that allows their enslavers to control them.

So what can we do to care for the victims of slavery? At Freedom Trust, we’re developing our plans in this area but we want to hear from you too.

Working to end slavery

One of our primary objectives is working to end slavery today, starting in the UK.

How will we do this?

Researching & defining

We will work to discover who are the victims of slavery in the UK today, what are its causes, who is behind it, what can be done to end it.

Raising awareness

We will raise awareness about slavery in the UK today. We will tell the stories of pain, suffering and poverty and we will expose the truth about the slavery that exists in the UK’s neighbourhoods, cities, and around the nation.

Campaigning

We will do everything we can to bring about changes to the systems that allow slavery to exist in the UK today. We will campaign to Governments and organisations that can bring about change, and we will work alongside others who are already campaigning to end slavery.
