Anti Slavery Day HistoryAnti Slavery Day aims to raise awareness of human trafficking and modern slavery. It seeks to educate the public about the various forms that modern slavery takes, such as forced labour, debt bondage, and forced marriage, and seeks to combat these injustices by encouraging government, business and civil society to take action. The observance strives to promote solidarity with victims and emphasize the importance of global collaboration in the fight against modern slavery. In the United Kingdom, Anti Slavery Day has been observed since 2010, when it was first established by the Anti-Slavery Day Act. It was introduced by the UK Parliament with the intention of driving the country's commitment to eradicate all forms of slavery, as well as to ensure that survivors receive appropriate support and protection. The observance works to encourage law enforcement agencies in the United Kingdom to target human trafficking rings and punish those responsible. Anti Slavery Day in the UK also engages various stakeholders, including non-governmental organizations, businesses, and educational institutions, to collaborate and develop effective prevention and response strategies. On Anti Slavery day, various events are organized across the nation to engage the public and highlight the importance of eliminating modern slavery. Communities are encouraged to learn about the signs of human trafficking and report any suspicious activities, while businesses are urged to scrutinize their supply chains to eliminate any trace of slavery. Through this collective effort, Anti Slavery Day aims to inspire positive change and bring an end to this heinous crime. Anti Slavery Day is typically observed on October 18th each year.
