UK "Illegal Migration Bill" Exacerbates Risks for Survivors of Modern Slavery: IOM | International Organization for Migration
London/ Geneva – The International Organization for Migration (IOM) is deeply concerned by the recently proposed changes to the modern slavery protection system in the United Kingdom (UK) as part of the new Illegal Migration Bill. The proposed changes if passed would limit survivors’ ability to report trafficking and access assistance, which risks exacerbating the vulnerability of victims, giving traffickers more control over them and deepening risks of further exploitation.
