Harriet Harman MP addressing MPs and Peers on the issue of slavery and human trafficking
On Tuesday I organised an event in Parliament that sought to draw attention to the fact that up to 30 million people around the world are enslaved – including thousands within Britain. This means more slaves exist today than at the height of the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Below is an extract from the press release:
Mark Hendrick MP hosted an event in Parliament on Tuesday that celebrated the achievements of the Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade and discussed contemporary slavery and human trafficking. Guest speakers included Harriet Harman MP and the Director of Anti-Slavery International, Aidan McQuade.
