Modern Slavery: War in Ukraine

Submitted by user76 on

The war in Ukraine has displaced over 10 million people, particularly women and children, who are now at risk of Modern Slavery and exploitation in general. Ukraine is a pre-existing trafficking hub making many vulnerable to being ‘re-trafficked’ and increasing risk in general. LSAB is aware that this issue may only increase over time as more refugees are welcomed into the UK, creating a new pool of persons at risk. The fast-tracked nature of the sponsor scheme may also lead to poor vetting, further exposing refugees to risk.
