We've just received the following information:
The winner of this year’s Anti-Slavery Award is the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, for their exceptional contribution towards tackling modern-day slavery in the United States agricultural industry. The CIW works with mainly Mexican and Guatemalan migrant workers trafficking into forced labour.
Over the past decade the CIW has uncovered, investigated and assisted in the prosecution of six slavery operations, secured the release of 1000 workers held in slavery, and successfully campaigned for corporate buyers to eliminate the existence of forced labour in their supply chains. In the year that we are commemorating 200 years since the abolition of the slave trade in Britain, the Award also offers an opportunity to highlight the existence of slavery in developed countries. The Award ceremony will be held on Wednesday 21st November at 7.30pm, at the Trades Union Congress, Congress House, Great Russell Street, London WC1B 3L. Please register your attendence by calling +44 (0)20 7501 8936 or emailing g.wolfes [at] antislavery.org. |
