Yesterday, our brilliant Lindsay Cundall spoke at the North West Migrants’ Rights Conference, hosted by @gmiau.bsky.social and @gcnchambers.bsky.social. Events like this remind us why collaboration and solidarity are essential in the fight for justice and dignity for all migrants.
Panel 3: Trafficking📫
We're listening to 3 speakers share their outstanding work in modern slavery and immigration across the legal and academic fields.
From sharing their experiences of bringing statregic litigation, and of client’s exploitation, to sharing landmark court cases, and so much more!

For survivors of trafficking and modern slavery, compensation is far more than a financial payment; it's about restoring dignity, autonomy, and justice, and a chance to rebuild their lives.

The Home Office's own guidance recognises that survivors of #ModernSlavery often delay disclosing their experiences, yet policies still penalise them for doing so. Instead of treating this as a suspicion, the government should focus on protection, not punishment and hostility.

Home Office says it will review modern slavery laws to save PM’s ‘one in, one out’ returns deal with France
Shabana Mahmood has accused asylum seekers of making “vexatious, last-minute claims” to avoid removal to France as the Home Office said it would review modern slavery laws to save Keir Starmer’s returns deal.
After an 11th hour injunction that scuppered Labour’s “one in, one out” scheme, the home secretary said she would stop claimants “suddenly deciding that they are a modern slave on the eve of their removal”, adding that it made a “mockery of our laws and this country’s generosity”.
