Anti-Slavery Day 2019

Today, October 18th, marks Anti-Slavery Day - a day dedicated to raising awareness of, and taking action against, slavery in all its forms within the UK.

In 2016, TG passed a mandate applauding the Government on passing the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and calling for all involved parties to ensure that the legislation is upheld, to protect those who fall victim and to bring to justice those who would treat other - often vulnerable - human beings in such a way.

You can read more about Anti-Slavery Day here - but even if you can't take action today, there's never a bad day to let your community know that TG supports an end to modern day slavery - nor is there ever a bad day to speak out to the appropriate authorities should you suspect that a local business is involved in slavery.

Marie Pooran came to Britain in the 1960s (from the Caribbean) and joined the Tottenham Evening Townswomen's Guild in 1971, a quintesentially British organisation which she has contributed fully to it - and continues to do so. At that time she was the only Asian member and actually for all of her 50 years has been one of few across many guilds and a rarity when attending the AGM and other events.
