On World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, we are highlighting a growing phenomenon: the trafficking of people into scam centres. Traffickers often exploit vulnerabilities like poverty, displacement, or a lack of safe work opportunities to recruit and trap people in scam centres.

Technology is reshaping exploitation. In April, we collaborated with Civic Studios on the microseries 'Scam City' to shed light on the lives of people who are trafficked into scam compounds and forced to commit cyberfraud. 🔗 Watch the series on their Instagram: www.instagram.com/reel/DXrVM4r...

Andy Burnham has taken office as the UK's new Prime Minister today. It's time for a reset. The new Prime Minister has an opportunity to change course, ensuring human rights are at the forefront of every decision.

The 2026 World Cup is nearly over, but modern slavery isn't. Nearly 50 million people are still in modern slavery today. Some are the people behind the matches. Many are trying to support their families, only to be deceived & trapped in modern slavery in host countries. That’s a red card 🟥

The Immigration and Asylum Bill had its second reading in Parliament yesterday. The Bill includes proposed changes to the Modern Slavery Act's transparency in supply chains provisions.

We are disappointed that the UK Government is continuing its harmful and unfounded claims of the “abuse” of the modern slavery system to justify introducing policies that will weaken the identification and support system for survivors of modern slavery. www.thetablet.co.uk/news/immigra...
