The Truth About Modern Slavery is a powerful treatise that reveals how modern slavery has been created as a political tool by those in power, hiding the harms of the 'hostile environment towards migrants, legitimizing big brands' exploitation of the poorest workers, and oppressing sex workers. It provides a vital challenge to conventional narratives on modern slavery.

A powerful treatise, penned by Amelia Gentleman for the Guardian, shed light on the pervasive issue of modern slavery in the UK in 2019. The report uncovered a staggering count of over 10,000 potential victims, ranging from men working in low-paying jobs at Sports Direct warehouses to teenage Vietnamese girls trafficked into nail bars in small towns. The author emphasizes that modern slavery is not confined to distant lands but is present in our midst, operating in plain sight.
However, the question arises: Is this truly slavery, or is it a modern phenomenon? Why has the British Conservative Party, known for its occasional disregard for the exploitation of the underprivileged, deemed modern slavery as one of the great human rights issues of our time? The Truth About Modern Slavery delves into the origins of modern slavery, revealing how it has been crafted as a political tool by those in power. It exposes how anti-slavery activism serves as a moral cloak, obscuring the harms caused by the "hostile environment" towards migrants, legitimizing the exploitation of the poorest workers by big brands, and oppressing sex workers.
The author also points to the media's complicity, the opportunism of rich philanthropists, and our collective failure to recognize the lies being perpetuated as factors contributing to the prevalence of modern slavery. By challenging conventional narratives on modern slavery, The Truth About Modern Slavery offers a vital and timely examination of this pressing issue.
