Hope for Justice was involved in Operation Fort, which was led by West Midlands Police and uncovered the UK’s largest-ever modern slavery network. In July 2019, eight offenders from two Polish organised criminal groups were jailed for between three to 11 years each after being convicted of crimes including trafficking, conspiracy to require another to perform forced labour and money laundering.

AMY Harris from Hope for Justice gave an enlightening talk to more than 35 people via Zoom – revealing that modern slavery is common in our country. Immigrants as well as vulnerable British people are being exploited in jobs ranging from car washes to factories. Modern slavery is often linked to human trafficking, where a person is forced into a service against their will – physical work and, often, prostitution. Hope for Justice operates in several countries around the world but, not just as you might expect, in developing countries. It supports victims of employment exploitation in England, Scotland, Wales, Norway, the United States and Australia as well as Africa and parts of Asia. Many thousands of vulnerable children and adults are working long hours in difficult conditions for little or no pay and being housed in cramped, appalling conditions. Amy’s charity exists to bring an end to modern slavery by seeking out and preventing exploitation, rescuing victims, restoring lives and reforming society. Around the world, 40.3 million people are in forced labour, sexual exploitation, domestic servitude and forced marriage. More than £100 billion pounds is made each year from forced labour, and Hope for Justice has so far rescued hundreds of people, from babies younger than a year old to adults up to the age of 63.
