Anti-Slavery Day – Together Against Slavery

What is Anti-Slavery Day?

Anti-Slavery Day takes place every year on 18th October to raise awareness about the urgent need to eradicate all forms of slavery, human trafficking, and exploitation. It is part of Anti-Slavery Week, a UK and European awareness initiative. This year, the week runs from 14th to 20th October 2024.
