Modern slavery is happening in your city, your town, and perhaps even your village. Watch the video to hear Miriam's story and learn how you can stop modern slavery in your community. 

 
 
“People ask, why has it happened to you so many times? It’s because they target you when you’re drunk. And it’s wet and cold and you’re hungry, and someone’s offering you work and a drink at 3 o’clock in the morning you jump on it. The penny don’t drop, because all you’re thinking is you ain’t got a drink in your bag, but soon the cycle starts again.””
— Charlie
