Postponed: The Exchange – In conversation with Louise Hulland

The shocking truth about human trafficking and modern day slavery in Britain, and what we can all do to make a difference.

An evening in conversation with journalist and broadcaster Louise Hulland, author of Stolen Lives.

136,000 people in the UK today are in some form of slavery. This is big business, generating more than £120 billion annually for criminal organisations across the world.

Louise Hulland reveals the truth about trafficking and modern day slavery in Britain. This enlightening evening will cover the experiences of those on the front line, including the police and charities involved with support and recovery. Louise will share powerful and moving testimony from survivors, revealing the individual stories behind the headlines. In particular, she will chart one young woman’s terrifying and ultimately inspiring journey to freedom and independence. There will be an opportunity to ask Louise questions, and to discuss how everyone can play their part in making a difference.
