During my evidence yesterday to the @CommonsHomeAffs Committee, I raised concerns about how perpetrators are using technology to target and exploit vulnerable women and girls. Our response must keep pace with these evolving threats to prevent harm and identify victims. #ModernSlavery #VAWG #EndExploitation

Technology is enabling traffickers to recruit and control victims at scale - often unseen. My new report sets out what’s coming next, and what must change. 📄 antislaverycommissioner.co.u… #ModernSlavery #HumanTrafficking

Women and girls are disproportionately affected by sexual exploitation. Globally, it is estimated 97%-99% of victims of sexual exploitation are female. My recent report on sex-for-sale websites found 59% of adverts showed multiple indicators linked to possible exploitation. On #InternationalWomen’sDay, it’s a reminder that exploitation can occur in plain sight online. The Government and online platforms must ensure these sites cannot be used to facilitate sexual exploitation and trafficking. That why I’m calling on the Government to launch a formal public consultation into these websites and ban them for under 18s.

The latest Government data (Q3 2025) show modern slavery in the UK is still rising. Referrals hit a record high - with more British victims than ever, long waits for decisions, and thousands of exploited children missing out on vital support. #ModernSlavery #IASC
