Does Human Trafficking really happen throughout Kent?
The last 7 months have been a roller coaster of having an idea, finding like minded-people, and making it happen. The idea was to start trying to make the area around the University of Kent (UKC) in Canterbury an area that is hostile to people trafficking. An area hostile to the movement, rape, exploitation and forced labour of men, women and children right here in the UK.
People trafficking, human trafficking, and a wealthy, picturesque, fairly rural English county in South England aren’t two things that you would expect to go together. After all the myth is that human trafficking, people being literally SOLD for £ into prostitution, forced crime or labour only happens in India, Cambodia, South Africa, the third forgotten world, far away from the life of a student, family, business owner or whatever your daily life is. Surely it’s far away from our communities…
I thought so too until i saw this article. (click to see)

Although the possibility was horrific, the evidence was right there. UKC Against Human Trafficking is a student led volunteer group (SLVG), open to students and the public at the University of Kent to campaign, raise awareness and fundraise to stop cases like these, the trafficking of people, from happening in our towns, cities and counties as part of a global movement to end modern-day slavery.
On this website you can find our contact information, our regular meetings, our latest events, awareness and fundraising campaigns, as well as thought-provoking articles and research covering a vast range of topics on slavery and anti-trafficking that as students we write and research ourselves.
