Modern Day Slavery
More than 200 years after the abolition of the slave trade there are still an estimated 40.3 million men, women and children trapped in modern slavery, at least 13,000 potential victims in the UK alone.
At our All-Age Worship on Sunday 5th August 2018 we looked at modern day slavery, and how it is hidden in plain site in our midst in the UK. We heard about the Clewer Initiative, which is a 3 year project to enable Church of England dioceses to develop strategies to detect modern slavery in their communities and help provide victim support and care, and in particular we learnt about their Safe Car Wash app which can be found at https://www.theclewerinitiative.org/safecarwash/
