UK To Address Backlog Of Modern Slavery Cases Amid 50 Million Globally Trapped

The United Kingdom government has taken a significant step in addressing the issue of modern slavery by appointing 200 additional Home Office staff to tackle a backlog of 23,300 cases left by the previous administration. The aim is to resolve these cases within two years, providing much-needed clarity and assistance to thousands of individuals who may have experienced severe sexual, physical, and economic exploitation.

According to a recent announcement from the UK government, many modern slavery victims currently face lengthy delays in having their status confirmed, leading to prolonged uncertainty and mental health challenges.

“The experiences of modern slavery survivors have often been overlooked, and it is time to change that,” stated Jess Phillips, Minister for Safeguarding. “Today’s actions mark the beginning of a new approach that prioritizes the needs of survivors, clears the backlog of cases, and helps victims move forward with their lives.”

Recent data from the International Labour Organisation revealed that an estimated fifty million people worldwide were living in modern slavery in 2021, with a significant increase over the past decade. Women and children are particularly vulnerable to exploitation.

Modern slavery is a global issue that transcends borders and affects individuals from diverse backgrounds. Shockingly, a large percentage of forced labour and forced marriages occur in upper-middle-income and high-income countries, highlighting the widespread nature of this problem.
