Ask your MP to stand up for modern slavery victims

Ask your MP to protect victims of
Modern Slavery

Modern slavery is a heinous crime which sees men, women and children forced to work against their will in some of the most horrific circumstances. Our movement has long campaigned to end modern slavery and improve the support and protections we provide to its victims. But now, all of that work is under threat.

The Government's Illegal Migration Bill, which is currently proceeding through Parliament, will take a sledgehammer to the rights of modern slavery victims. It will deny victims access to the most basic support (such as sexual assault support services for victims of sex trafficking), and instead see them detained and deported.

Will you ask your MP to back amendments to this Bill to force the Government to appoint and consult with an Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner, and remove the cruel measures targeting slavery victims?

Dear MP Name MP,

Modern Slavery is an evil which sees some of the most vulnerable people subject to appalling conditions and experiences, including domestic servitude, forced labour, criminal exploitation, and sexual exploitation. It’s estimated there are anywhere between around 13,000 and 136,000 victims of modern slavery in the UK alone, affecting both UK and foreign nationals – and as some of the most vulnerable people in our society they desperately need and deserve our support. That’s why I’m proud that the co-operative movement has a long history of standing up for victims and tackling modern slavery in all its guises. But it is shocking to see the harmful proposals in the Illegal Migration Bill that will undermine so much of this work by tearing up the rights of victims. As your constituent, I am therefore writing to ask you to support amendments to the legislation at Third Reading that seek to remove some of the most damaging proposals within the Bill, that most significantly affect victims of modern slavery and trafficking. Amendments 4, and 12-16 will do just that, and it is vital that we take every effort to back them and address the potentially devastating impact this legislation will have on victims of modern slavery. Will you join me and support them?
