Modern slavery is the severe exploitation of other people for personal or commercial gain. Modern slavery is all around us, but often just out of sight. It covers a wide range of abuse and exploitation including sexual exploitation, domestic servitude, forced labour, criminal exploitation and organ harvesting.
There are over 42 million people worldwide under the condition of Modern Slavery with over 20,000 in the UK.

From the outside, it can look like a normal job. But people are being controlled – they can face violence or threats, be forced into inescapable debt, or have had their passport taken away and are being threatened with deportation. Many have fallen into this oppressive trap simply because they were trying to escape poverty or insecurity, improve their lives and support their families. Now, they can’t leave.

I am supporting Hope for Justice  - A global non-profit organisation with presence in 11 countries. It's aim is to end human trafficking and modern slavery.

This ride is in support specifically to Hope for Justice's launch of it's investigative hub in the North-West of England.

A small contribution which hopefully will enable people to regain hope, rediscover freedom and rebuild their lives.
