Anti-Slavery news

In this month's Reporter there is news of the Mauritanian president's pledge to address slavery in the country, the extension of a project to help repatriate and rehabilitate child camel jockeys trafficked to the United Arab Emirates, and the award of the Wilberforce Medal to Anti-Slavery International by the Wilberforce Lecture Trust in April.

You can also read an interview with James Aguer, Chair of the Dinka Committee in Sudan, who was presented with the 2006 Anti-Slavery Award at a ceremony at London's Chatham House in November, and learn about a recent visit by Anti-Slavery International to Andhra Pradeshin India to investigate the practice of Jogini and to meet the women affected by this traditional form of slavery.
