Anti Slavery Day 2015
PEOPLE in Liverpool are being urged
to take action if they believe someone they know is a victim of modern
slavery. Anti Slavery Day takes place on Sunday, 18 October 2015, providing
an opportunity to draw attention to the issue and address the scale and
scope of human trafficking. Councillor Emily Spurrell, Mayoral lead for
community safety, said:- "People think slavery is a thing of the past,
but it is a very real issue happening today. Thousands of individuals are
trafficked into cities like Liverpool for prostitution, domestic servitude,
cannabis farms and other types of forced labour. We want to raise awareness
of the issue so we can better identify and stop individuals trafficking in
our City."
People are being asked to look out for the following signs:-
1. Limited Rights.
2. Controlled by another person who often speaks for them.
3. Addicted to drugs or other substances.
4. Appear to have poor health.
5. Live and work in the same place.
6. Have no access to their identity or travel documents.
7. Show signs of physical abuse.
