The first of a three-part series called 'The rights and justice city: hope, history and being humane', this public dialogue tackles an important issue in an open forum. There are 46 million people enslaved around the world today, forced to work against their will for no pay. The Modern Slavery Act of 2015 tackles the issue of the thousands of people enslaved in the UK. Could UK cities now take steps to ensure they are slavery-free? Over the next two years, Nottingham will work to become the world's first official slavery-free city.
Our panel members, including Professor Kevin Bales and experts from law enforcement, civil society and local government, will debate how Nottingham and other cities can end slavery.
Admission is free but booking is required.
This event is part of The University of Nottingham's series Cultures of Hope and Fear. Find out more on the Being Human Festival website.
