Workers should be able to change employer within their sector at any point—not only after exploitation. This would reduce dependency and power imbalances, helping workers challenge poor conditions before exploitation escalates to modern slavery.

Survivors of trafficking are being criminalised. Under the new Immigration and Asylum Bill, more survivors will be disqualified from support. Survivors shouldn't be punished for surviving. The government must abandon these measures. Read NAM’s story www.atleu.org.uk/cases-news/n...

People come to this country, not for comfort, but for safety. They are simply asking for a chance to live, to work, and to belong. Existing and proposed changes to the asylum system risk taking even that small hope away. Read our Changemaker’s full blog here: www.atleu.org.uk/cases-news/a...
