Did you see our event on Friday? Ahead of today’s Anti-Slavery Day, I spoke to Debbie Ariyo OBE, Chair and founder of the UK BME Anti-Slavery Network, the first network in Europe dedicated to promoting equality, inclusion and diversity in the anti-trafficking and anti-slavery space.

We discussed anti-racism in the anti-trafficking space, what it looks like, and how being actively anti-racist better supports survivor care, recovery and leadership.

Watch our conversation here!

Systemic racism is pervasive in society and the anti-trafficking sector is no different. To mark Anti-Slavery Day watch me and Debbie discuss how racism limits the fight to end human trafficking and what needs to change.
