The Scottish Government have published their consultation document prior to the final strategy being taken to parliament in May 2017 https://consult.scotland.gov.uk/human-trafficking-team/a-human-trafficking-and-exploitation-strategy
Views are requested from now till 7th December.
Human Trafficking is the illegal trade of human beings for exploitation – sexual, labour, domestic servitude, criminal, organ removal. Human trafficking happens in the cities, town and villages of Scotland and across the world. The financial gains to the perpetrators of trafficking humans is second only to the financial gains of drug barons.
Trafficking robs victims of their dignity as human beings, reducing them to commodities to be treated in whatever way the perpetrators wish. Victims of human trafficking have no voice, but we have.
The members of Action of Churches Together Scotland (ACTS) on Human Trafficking are willing to speak to Church and other groups.
The Diocesan Development Group for Imaginative Outreach into Local Communities will happily coordinate an event/events if required.
