The Anti-Slavery Day Bill became law in 2010. It was introduced in Parliament as a Private Members Bill by Anthony Steen MP for Totnes, South Devon, in 2010 and passed through both Houses. The bill defines modern-day slavery as child trafficking, forced labour, domestic servitude and trafficking for sexual exploitation.
For our activist work on this year’s Anti-Slavery Day, inspired by the Anti-Slavery Day Bill our SLVG aimed to continue the work that was started last year.
I found myself sitting in a trolley, with posters raising awareness of Anti-Slavery Day, and two of our members – Alex Tiley and Philip Stephenson-Oliver – pushed me around campus in a safely designed route set out by University of Kent Against Human Trafficking (UKAHT) safety officer Kez Cawkwell. 
We had little pots and a huge tin, collecting money by explaining the impacts of Anti-Slavery Day to people walking by Essentials on the University of Kent’s Canterbury campus.
UKAHT raised £103.96 on Anti-Slavery Day on Friday 18th October 2013, with huge thanks to everyone who helped for all of your hard work: Alex Tiley, Kez Cawkwell, Maya Esslemont, Philip Stephenson-Oliver, Charlotte Temple-Camp and everyone else who contributed.
I also would like to congratulate Mabel Samba for being elected as UKAHT’s VP. We look forward to working with you in the future.
We are currently planning an event at the end of November with two guest speakers so watch this space!
