‘Two hundred years ago, William Wilberforce was one of those who realised the true horror of the slave trade. It was right under his nose. It was the backbone of the British economy. It was wrong. And it was growing…’ Daniel Bedingfield reminds us in a Stop the Traffik promotional video. The fact that the slave trade is still very much alive is one which is extremely frightening. 2.4 million people are involved in this industry and are prevented from possessing the basic dignity and human rights they deserve.

In several of my lessons this week I’ve been focussing on the issue of Human trafficking, its causes and its effects. Pupils are engaging well with the issue and many, like myself, have been stirred to action. Please feel free to use a PowerPoint I have made to accompany the campaign. Also, I urge you to sign an online petition calling for an end to slavery once and for all. Visit www.stopthetraffik.org. Thanks!
