refiioee supporL or homele￿ne$S. In Middlesbrouoh fore.Kample, Ive joined their existing work
on povetry and violence against H'omen and girls. It is crucial that activists view human
traftiLking and modem slai'ery in the contexl ot-other social risks (¢.g. poN'erty, hon1e1e￿ness,
inseLure Inimiuralion 5tatUs), and not in a vacuum. these are faLiOts ivhich hu<yely impact
traffiLkinu rates. Therefore. incorporatiniy anti_tratTiLkinLJ w-ork into exi5tiniF w'()rk on any
social di&rydvantatse is logical not only for resouTce-efficiency, bul equally for a more thorough
and meaning￿] understanding of all the topics in quesiion.
Working via connections ivith bishops or social action leads ensures that they can continue the
sprecld of our materials and the anli-trdfficking agenda beyond our capacity lo do so.. in multiple
parishes acro&% each Diocese. They can act as a central point of contact through whom ive Lan

This year. the dissemination of our resources for the Feasi Day of St Bakhita (February 8th) to
