For World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, here are some startling #trends about #humantrafficking and #moderslavery in the UK from today's webinar with Unseen UK's Frontline and Helpline teams. ⭐⭐⭐CURRENT TRENDS IN TRAFFICKING⭐⭐⭐ ⚡ Unseen has reported a significant increase in the exploitation of #underageyouth across the U.K. Latest data shows a troubling rise in various forms of exploitation, including #domesticservitude, #criminalexploitation, and #sexualexploitation. Modern Slavery and Exploitation Helpline: The helpline saw a 19% increase in calls in 2023, with a total of 11,700 calls compared to 9,779 in 2022. This surge reflects a higher number of identified potential victims, particularly among underage individuals (Unseen). County Lines Exploitation: A significant number of children are being exploited through county lines operations, where criminal gangs use minors to transport and sell drugs. Unseen's #LikesToLines campaign highlights that at least 27,000 children are believed to be involved in county lines across the UK (Unseen). Forms of Exploitation: There has been a notable increase in cases of child sexual exploitation and online grooming. Reports indicate a 10% rise in child sexual exploitation crimes within the last year, with online grooming crimes increasing by 82% over the past five years (Unseen). ⚡ ⅓ of calls to Unseen are from members of the public concerned about exploitation, including: physical abuse, not being paid properly by employers (exploiters), tension with and fear of employer (potential exploiter), or living arrangements being tied to employment. ⚡ The greatest number of helpline calls are from #labour exploitation in the workforce. In 2023, for the first time, cases of exploitation were predominantly in the #CareSector. Before that it was traditionally in the #ServiceIndustry. ⭐⭐Unseen run the free, 24/7, confidential national Modern Slavery & Exploitation Helpline open to everyone (08000 121 700). ⭐⭐ Thank you Alice Dutton, Lauren Saunders, Natasha Mitra and Unseen's anonymous Case Worker for this important discussion! #humantrafficking #modernslavery #stoptrafficking #humanrights #WorldDayAgainstTraffickinginPersons

Charity is important, but it’s not enough. While charitable efforts can provide immediate relief, they often do not address the systems of deeper, systemic issues. At YMCA Together, we work to tackle the root causes of poverty, inequality and injustice. We must question the structures that perpetuate these problems and work together to create sustainable, long-term solutions that empower communities and foster true equality. #YMCA #YMCATogether #NorthWestCharity #Charity

Exposure to Violence: Children in poverty face a heightened risk of exposure to community violence, with profound and lasting effects on their mental and emotional well-being. The harsh realities of impoverished neighborhoods often subject these children to traumatic experiences, shaping their perceptions and impacting their psychological resilience. Addressing the root causes of violence in these communities is crucial, as it not only ensures the immediate safety of children but also works towards breaking the cycle of generational trauma associated with childhood poverty. -------------- Please donate today here Find out how you can make a difference: www.joyafrica.foundation info@joyafrica.foundation #joyafricafoundation #givejoytoday #givejoyeveryday #charity #nonprofit #donate #love #fundraising #community #support #help #volunteer #giveback #donation #fundraiser #education #dogood #children #socialgood #givingback #donations #philanthropy #hope #makeadifference #charityevent #helpingothers #nonprofitorganization #childhoodpoverty #childreninpoverty #homelesschild #streetchildren #orphans
