Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to promote World Day against Trafficking in Persons on 30 July; and what priority they give to trafficking in person in their serious and organised crime policies.

To promote World Day Against Trafficking in Persons on 30 July the Government used social media to raise awareness of the global scale of modern slavery and human trafficking and UK missions abroad hosted events to mark the day.

The Government is committed to tackling the heinous crime of modern slavery and bringing those individuals responsible to justice. This is a key part of the Government’s overall strategy to tackle serious and organised crime.

In May 2020 at the Prime Minister’s Virtual Summit on Hidden Harms, the Government reiterated the absolute priority that we place on preventing and protecting those at risk from hidden harms, including modern slavery.
