The inflammatory language used in recent months by some Ministers, MPs and even in an official Home Office press release, is alarming. We know the damage this is causing to victims, and urge the Government to put an end to this dangerous, hostile narrative, and prioritise effective support for victims and survivors of trafficking and modern slavery.
“It doesn’t come as a surprise to us that people are now being attacked when this language that was once attributed to politically far right groups is now being normalised and spoken by our MPs and people in positions of power and support. The Government is attacking migrant survivors, driving racial tension, while ignoring the growing number of British survivors. All survivors, whether British or migrant, should be listened to and given the support they need.”
