Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
My name is Shabaz and I will be running with Bawso in this years Cardiff Half Marathon to raise funds to help support victims of Modern Day Slavery and Human Trafficking.
Many people have little or no knowledge of modern day slavery or human trafficking, yet it is on the increase and is an issue as a society we all need to be aware of. Human trafficking is the second largest illegal trade in the world. It is the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring or receipt of persons by means of the threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, of abduction, of fraud, of deception, of the abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability or of the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person, for the purpose of exploitation.
Bawso is an all Wales third sector organisation that provides specialist services and support to victims of Domestic Abuse, Human Trafficking, Honour Based Violence, Forced Marriages and FGM, especially those from a BME background.
Bawso’s role in supporting victims of human trafficking across Wales is fundamental and provides spaces where victims can feel safe receive specialist support and can begin their recovery. The Bawso Diogel project has had a significant impact on the lives of the many people they have supported in Wales since 2009. Alongside supporting people through a crisis situation, Bawso also works long term to provide emotional support through counselling, advocacy, health guidance and education.
I would be so grateful if you could please donate as much as you can to help fight this cause.
