Slave Britain: A Trade in Human Lives
Slave Britain is an art exhibition which examines the 21st century trade in human lives. I’ve read about human slavery before but the combination of pictures with text just makes it more striking.
The photographs, by Panos photographers Karen Robinson and David Rose, represent a rare and intimate insight into the mechanics of this fastest growing form of modern day slavery and explore the devastating impact it has on people’s lives.
The exhibition seeks to expose the reality of trafficking in the UK and the action needed to tackle it. The participating agencies are lobbying the UK Government to make good on its recent promise to sign and ratify the Council of Europe Convention on Action Against Trafficking in Human Beings in order to guarantee minimum standards of protection and support for trafficked people.

Anyone familiar with the internet has got to realize the (sex) slave trade is alive and thriving, did you really think all those “smiling” faces in the online pornography are of genuine happiness and the reflection of joy of willing, non-coerced participants? OK, yes, I have looked at online pornography, and now that I think about it, I could be contributing to someone else’s misery. Well, from now on, I’ll no longer be a part of that! Over and out!
