Activate: Sixteen Conversations about Gender-based Violence

What's Modern Slavery Got to do with VAWG?

Listen on

Episode notes

Today my guest is Paul Withrington and we are discussing the intersection between domestic violence and modern slavery. Modern slavery is defined as "when an individual is exploited by others, for personal or commercial gain. Whether tricked, coerced, or forced, they lose their freedom." Far from being a small or localised issue, this is something we all need to bring our awareness to.

You'll hear about:

• What Modern Slavery is and what it might look like
• Why professionals need to be more aware of what to look for
• Empathy for those involved
• The overlap between gender-based violence and modern slavery
• Where we can start our awareness building and activism
