Why donate?
Modern slavery exists in every country on earth, including the UK. There are currently estimated to be 45.8. million people living in slavery around the world. That’s three times the amount that were enslaved during the time of the transatlantic slave trade. The difference is that today it’s gone underground. In the UK it goes unseen on our high streets, on our farms and behind closed doors in our homes. Around the world it exists in the same way but also in the production of the things we buy at home.
Over the last couple of years that we’ve been planning and doing this trip slavery is starting to hit the headlines of the international press. The world is waking up to the issue and hopefully we can play a small part in the fight against it.
Through going around the world on our scooter and sidecar we are trying to demonstrate just how widespread the issue is and just how interlinked we all are with it. To showcase how prevalent it is, we’re meeting with the organisations who are fighting it in the places we visit. So far, we’ve driven from London to Cape Town and Santiago to Vancouver. We have met with several organisations who are doing amazing work to combat it or prevent it where they are and these are listed on our partners page.
