How are we addressing modern slavery at The University of Manchester?

08 Oct 2024

All staff and students are invited to join us online for an event during Anti-Slavery Week, where you can listen to a discussion and ask questions about modern slavery and human trafficking at The University of Manchester.

Anti-Slavery Week, taking place between 14-18 October, is an annual event aimed at raising awareness about modern slavery and human trafficking. It brings together organisations, activists, and communities to highlight the ongoing issue of exploitation and forced labour around the world.  

Join us online on Monday 14 October, 12.00-12:45 to learn more about the current landscape of anti-slavery efforts and how we can contribute to meaningful change. The event will see Dr Julian Skyrme, Executive Director of Social Responsibility and Civic Engagement interview Rosemary Broad, Professor of Criminology and Ian Jarvey, Interim Head of Procurement, on our activities to raise awareness on issues around modern slavery, through research, teaching, and engaging with our suppliers in our supply chains. 

You will also have the chance to ask questions.
