Human Trafficking

Annual Conference condemns the appalling and unacceptable escalation of human trafficking, which predominantly targets women and children. Internationally, human trafficking is the fastest growing organised crime, with around two million people being forced into the sex trade every year. This is nothing short of 21st century slavery and must be wiped out. Therefore this Conference calls upon the Executive Council to: ● Campaign within the TUC and sister unions to seek adequate Government resources to prevent and deter the perpetrators, and to provide support and refuge for the victims. ● Publicise and oppose this form of exploitation and abuse. ● Work closely with organisations such as Amnesty International and other relevant agencies to highlight and to eradicate this slavery.
