Soroptimists undertake a UK wide survey.
Soroptimists from all over the UK are working to establish the public’s knowledge of Human Trafficking and Modern Day Slavery.
From 1st to 7th October 2017 Soroptimists from SI [insert Club], Yorkshire as part of their mission to inspire action and transform the lives of women and girls world-wide are encouraging members of the public to complete the UK wide survey undertaken by the Soroptimist United Kingdom Programme Action Committee. Working with UK Modern Slavery Training Delivery Group, which is part of the Government’s strategy to combat trafficking/slavery, the intention is to find out the extent of public knowledge of Human Trafficking and Modern Slavery. The results will help to inform and direct their work.
The on-line version of the survey is accessed from www.sigbi.org/ukpac/survey/ and it is hoped that a wide range of individuals will give a few minutes of their time to log in and complete the survey.
