Anti-Slavery Day is an opportunity to raise awareness of the fact over 49.6 million people in the world today, and an estimated 122,000 people in the UK, are trapped in conditions of modern slavery. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

Anti-Slavery Day is a time to encourage governments, businesses, friends, family and colleagues to do what they can to prevent human trafficking and protect victims of modern-day slavery.

Anti-Slavery Day takes place every year on 18th October. At Hope for Justice, we will be hosting a whole week of events and campaigns (13th – 19th October) which individuals and organisations can take part in to mark Anti-Slavery Day 2025. We are also planning special activities for our Church Partners for Anti-Slavery Sunday (19th October).

Your audience may be hearing about the issue of modern slavery for the first time, these graphics give an introduction to the topic and provide legal definitions.

For Anti-Slavery Week 2024, we ran webinars on “How you can H.E.L.P.” where we shared how you can take action and raise awareness about modern slavery and human trafficking.

The webinar was broken into three action points: how to spot the signs of modern slavery (using the H.E.L.P acronym), how to be an ethical consumer and how to fundraise in a fun and impactful way!

This set of graphics contains more visual elements and thought-provoking facts and comparisons to get your audience and stakeholders talking and thinking about the issue of modern slavery. 

As efforts to halt the climate crisis and environmental damage increase, the use of modern slavery becomes part of these activities.

If you suspect that your audience have been misinformed about the realities of modern slavery or hold inaccurate opinions about it, this set of graphics provides the real facts.
