Tens of thousands held as modern slaves in Britain!!

Theresa May says tens of thousands held as modern slaves in Britain
The shocking number of people held in conditions of slavery in modern Britain has been revealed by the Home Secretary

They include women forced into prostitution, domestic staff and workers in fields, factories and fishing boats.

In what is said to be the first scientific estimate of the scale of modern slavery in the UK, the Home Office has said the number of victims last year was between 10,000 and 13,000.

The “grim reality” is that slavery still exists in towns, cities and the countryside across the world, including the UK, she said.
“The time has come for concerted, coordinated action. Working with a wide-range of partners, we must step up the fight against modern slavery in this country, and internationally, to put an end to the misery suffered by innocent people around the world.”
