UK Government backs new European trafficking law

Great news from Anti-Slavery International and 38 Degrees:

"We did it! Together we've just won our campaign for the UK to sign up to a new European law to tackle human trafficking. Thousands of you have taken action helping us reach an amazing 47,000 petition signatures!


... the Government announced that they will apply to adopt the EU Trafficking Directive aimed at making it easier to prosecute traffickers and better protect those trafficked. It is an incredible result that they have listened to us all and taken tougher action to ensure we win the battle to end this horrendous crime.

Last Saturday 19th March Anti-Slavery International and 38 Degrees campaigners along with the Independent on Sunday handed in our petition to No.10 Downing Street calling for the Government to back the new law. Check out our Facebook photo album from the day and the excellent news coverage.

It is extremely important that the Government has recognised the need to back this measure and do more to tackle trafficking, sending out a strong message to traffickers today that this crime will not be tolerated."
