Find out more about the #modernslavery research of our colleagues Zahra Shirgholami and Andrew Smith at the University of Hull’s Wilberforce Institute: https://lnkd.in/eBXqrAnP Dr Shirgholami is lead on a project funded by the Modern Slavery and Human Rights Policy Evidence Centre, working with partners Shiva Foundation & West Midlands Anti-Slavery Network-Slavery_Network. The project seeks to increase cultural understanding of marginalised communities as an important factor in improving UK responses to modern slavery. Following interviews and focus groups with modern slavery survivors and support agencies across four UK regions, the team is currently finalising research recommendations. Dr Shirgolami said: “The team found that current UK policies concerning modern slavery and immigration can have a significant impact on the provision of support for victims of modern slavery. Professionals working in this area have to navigate through a challenging landscape of new legislation. They need to understand how the National Referral Mechanism (NRM) fits in with the Nationality and Borders Act of 2022 and now the new ‘Illegal Migration Act’. For many professionals working in this area, survivors always come first, and they never want to deviate from that. However, the new policies could limit their ability to do so.” The team are planning a meeting with practitioners to discuss the research findings.

The Home Office is racist by design. It needs to be abolished. The Home Office was created to reduce the country's non-White population, and has been making migrant and racialised communities' lives a misery ever since. In order to tackle hostile immigration policy, we need to look at the UK's colonial legacies, and how they dictate who is seen to be welcome in the UK along racial and religious lines. If we want to create a just and equitable society for all, we have to be honest about the racism, Islamophobia and other forms of oppression ingrained in UK immigration policy.

Anti-immigrant rhetoric is not just words - they have consequences. Hateful words produce fear in those they target. When people are demeaned as a category -- immigrant, migrant - it is easier for people to dehumanize them, often leading to restrictive policies that make the lives of immigrants and migrants harder. Witness to Witness is exposing how anti-immigrant rhetoric and policies harm immigrant populations and the clinicians that serve them.
