Caritas Salford Anti-Trafficking presentation on human trafficking and modern day slavery in Lancashire, delivered to around 100 year 12s in three one hour sessions.  With the recent news of 39 Vietnamese dead in a container, the particular focus this year was on trafficking Vietnamese people into cannabis factories and nail bars.  At least some of the those who died were Catholic and from the same province as the Vietnamese victims we have worked with.  We showed the Unchosen film The Trip which is about a young Vietnamese man trafficked into a cannabis factory and when rescued sent to prison for 2 years before being deported.  It still happens that victims are criminalised but hopefully not in Lancashire where this issue is well understood by the Police.  We also showed the Home Office film Modern Day Slavery is Closer Than You Think, along with local information from Police and newspapers, to  raise awareness of the issue and alert pupils to the signs of modern slavery.  This year we used the experiences of the Morecambe Bay cockle picker who survived in 2004 and a woman rescued from a Preston brothel in 2017.  A key feature in the presentation was the Pan Lancashire Anti-Slavery Partnership Freedom Days the most recent one in Blackpool.  Each student was given a card to recognise the signs of human trafficking.  During the lunch period there was a Caritas Anti-Trafficking stall with leaflets and information.
