Tackling Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking 16.00 – 16.45 Host: Bernie Bowen-Thomson, Chief Executive, Safer Wales Speakers: - Pete Kernoghan, Development Director for No More Traffik - Jasmin Ahmed, Regional Human Trafficking MARAC Coordinator, BAWSO Victims of modern slavery and trafficking are all too often hidden in plain sight. Modest estimates suggest that in the UK there are around 13,000 victims. The figure is likely to be much higher. Victims are some of the most vulnerable people in our communities, forced into labour, servitude and sexual abuse and deliberately targeted because of their vulnerability. While awareness is growing and reporting has increased, there is more to do and a role for each and every person to help wage war on modern slavery, from reporting concerns to making positive purchases. Join Pete Kernoghan of Northern Ireland’s No More Traffik and Jasmin Ahmed, Regional Human Trafficking MARAC Coordinator from BAWSO (Black Association of Women Step Out) for a discussion on their work and the prospects for bringing slavery and human trafficking to an end. The discussion will be hosted by Bernie Bowen-Thomson; Chief Executive of Safer Wales.

A man is seen crouched in the doorway of the murder scene. He is crying; his hands covered in blood. Fifty detectives hunt the ‘distinctive white man’ whose likeness is flashed across newspapers and TV. Why 10 months later were five black men rounded up and charged? What unfolded over the next 30 years is a take so scandalous you'd be forgiven for thinking it was a work of fiction. What is the true cost of the notorious ‘Cardiff Five’ miscarriage of justice? On individuals, society and the street?
