Anti-Slavery Day Bill

This note provides an overview of the Anti-Slavery Day Bill, which would require the Secretary of State to designate a date for an annual “Anti-Slavery Day” to raise awareness of the dangers and consequences of modern-day slavery and human trafficking. The Bill is a Private Member’s Bill introduced by Anthony Steen, founder of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Human Trafficking, who drew sixth place in the 2009-10 ballot for Private Members’ Bills.
