Forced Labour in the Garment Industry in Leicester

Описание: Join our audience of international investigators and the anti-slavery community as we hear from the host of our new podcast, Tony Dunkerley.

Tony talks about his experiences investigating human trafficking and people smuggling around the world and the amazing superhumans he has met along the way.

Tony and special guest Mina Chiang (Episode #03) discuss the heroes on the front lines, challenging stereotypes, and the complexities of modernslavery.

Tony explains how there are an estimated 50 million people currently held in modern slavery across the globe.

Hidden in plain sight, it has a footprint in the food we eat, the clothes we wear, the buildings we work, and the stadiums we play in.

With estimated annual global profits of $236 billion (£185 billion), human trafficking is one of the world’s largest and most profitable crimes.

Economic disparities, conflict, political instability, gender inequality, and religious persecution are all factors increasing the vulnerability of people to exploitation by others.

The climate emergency is now forcing people into migration and the hands of human smugglers, who in turn force the migrants into forced labour - some within the very industries that are degrading the environment.

Despite running through every society, many have not heard about modern slavery or human trafficking, or if they have, do not understand the realities of what it is or the extent to which it exists today, right outside their doors.

As Tony emphasises, many people think ‘It doesn’t happen here.’ The truth is…it happens everywhere.
