📣 It's time to recognise #ModernSlavery as a #VAWG issue. Why? Take a moment to swipe through these #facts, demonstrating the correlation between gender-based violence and modern slavery. The exploitation faced by victims is often gendered, with women and girls accounting for 99% of those in sexual exploitation. #ViolenceAgainstWomen is a rampant problem across the globe, with 1 in 3 women experiencing physical sexual violence. Modern slavery and exploitation also must be seen in the context of gender based violence in order to tackle the issue at its source. We offer a unique and #inclusive community space for survivors where women can uplift and empower themselves and each other in a safe and supportive environment, as well as programmes aimed at helping survivors achieve #SustainableFreedom.

Icebreakers are an important part of ensuring the participants feel relaxed and a part of a safe #community, as well as giving them the chance to get to know one another and share some laughs! The newspaper challenge is fun, but it also carries two important themes: the power of #teamwork and the importance of building a strong foundation from which to grow 💗 What's your go-to icebreaker for building comradery?

We are delighted to have contributed to the new series of #reports produced by KALAYAAN titled ‘Ready, Willing & Able: The cost of not allowing survivors in the NRM to work.’ The second #report of the series, ‘The Economic Benefits’ highlights how granting those within the #NRM will benefit the UK #economy, with an estimated £36 million being lost annually in income tax and N.I. contributions by not allowing these individuals to #work. We were proud to support this report as we recognise the value of a Right to Work scheme within the NRM. Our work over the last 13 years with survivors has shown the importance of access to employability support, providing #survivors with the ability to support their independent lives and avoid further exploitative working environments.

💡Swipe for insights on the latest quarterly National Referral Mechanism #data ➡️➡️➡️ 📊 The data, covering July - September 2024, continues to show worrying and growing trends around Modern Slavery in the UK, including the highest number of referrals to the NRM ever and a lower proportion of positive conclusive grounds decisions. 🤲 The Sophie Hayes Foundation supports and is here for all women survivors of modern slavery and exploitation. We will continue to monitor the data each quarter, listen to the experiences of our programme participants, and advocate for their right to be supported to sustainable #freedom. #Statistics #Stats #NRM #EducateYourself #StayInformed #HumanRights #HumanTrafficking #Report #News #UK #NRM #EndExploitation #ModernSlavery #Learn #DidYouKnow #Facts

🏠 #Homelessness and #ModernSlavery - what's the connection? Homelessness, as both a driver and outcome of modern slavery and #exploitation, intersects with the modern slavery sector deeply. Many survivors either find themselves in exploitation as a result of the vulnerabilities of homelessness or become homeless after leaving NRM support. It is all too common to find long-term support for survivors lacking after exiting the NRM, putting many survivors at risk of re-trafficking and re-exploitation. Our Programme focuses on preparing survivors for long-term independence and #SustainableFreedom. We're so happy that following a recent survey with past programme participants, while some are in temporary accommodation, none are sleeping rough. #HungerAndHomelessnessAwarenessWeek #Houseless #HumanTrafficking #HumanRights #Charity #Nonprofit #Donate #Support #EndExploitation #MakeADifference #Awareness #Learn #StayInformed #EducateYourself #DidYouKnow #Stats #NRM
