Red is running a 280km multi-stage ultra marathon and I will be joining him for the last day covering 21km. I have never done something like this before so it will be a challenge for me but it’s for a good cause!
Over 40.3 million people are living in modern slavery worldwide with an estimated 136,000 people exploited and trafficked within the UK. That's more people living in slavery than ever before, both in the UK and globally.
Did you know Singapore is a popular transit point and destination hub for trafficking activities, where women and girls are trafficked into the country for sexual or labour exploitation. Exploiting Singapore’s attractive economic conditions, criminal syndicates deceive vulnerable victims with false job offers, promising them a better life for their families. Today, there are approximately 1.37 million foreign workers in Singapore supplementing the country’s manpower needs, out of which, close to 1 million low-wage migrant workers are amongst the most vulnerable.
