This year, Anti-Slavery Week will run from 16th-22nd October.
Join Stronger Together in marking Anti-Slavery Day on the 18 October by showing how everyone can make one positive change. Through collaboration and partnership together.
It is estimated that there are now 50 million people living in conditions of modern slavery, an increase of 10 million people since the Global Slavery Index was published in 2018. Global issues such as conflict, climate change and authoritarian regimes have increased risk for workers, leaving them more vulnerable to exploitation.
What is Anti-Slavery Day?
Anti-Slavery Day takes place every year on the 18 October. Anti-Slavery Day is part of Anti-Slavery week, a UK and European awareness week, which this year runs from 16 – 22 October 2023.
In 2010, an Act of Parliament of the United Kingdom introduced a national day to raise awareness of the need to eradicate all forms of slavery, human trafficking and exploitation. Today, we continue to raise awareness of these issues, highlighting good practice and shining a spotlight on new guidance available to support businesses.
