Lent starts next week.

Could you use this season of reflection to shine a light on #modernslavery and #childexploitation?

Who could you tell about #ChildrenintheShadows?

Could you organise an evening to watch the six films back-to-back and discuss them?

Lent begins in three weeks!

Could you encourage your church to use our new Lent course to learn more about #modernslavery and #childexploitation?

It consists of 6 short films and a devotional with discussion questions, a Bible reflection and prayer!

Thank you to everyone who gave us the opportunity to speak about Modern Slavery during 2025. There are more than 100,000 victims in the UK today, men women and children as young as 8 years of age.
We can all do something to make a difference to their lives if we know what to look for a who to tell.

#Pregnancy is a time of increased vulnerability for all women.

However, if you are a victim of #ModernSlavery, the experience is even more traumatic, particularly if the father is your captor.
