A few years ago I was talking to a fellow dinner party guest, who told me that one of the causes he raised money for was to fight modern-day slavery in the UK.
I was shocked and confused – I couldn’t get my head around the idea that people here were being treated as slaves, and that they were being brought into this country for that sole purpose.
I did some research and found quite a few anti-slavery charities, confirming to me that this was a real issue. So why weren’t people raising awareness about it?
