The upcoming local elections in the UK are a vital opportunity to advance efforts to rid communities of exploitation. Modern slavery is happening on our doorsteps, in our towns and villages, and so it’s vital that our response to tackling it is not just national, but also local. Hope for Justice has extensive experience of working with multi-agency partners to prevent exploitation, safeguard survivors and hold traffickers to account. We want to equip candidates and voters ahead of the local elections on Thursday 2nd May to ensure that modern slavery is kept high on the agenda.
