26 - Using the law to fight slavery in the UK - a podcast with legal charity Anti Trafficking and Labour Exploitation Unit
Update: 2025-03-11
Description
In this episode, ATLEU’s Jamila Duncan-Bosu talks with Blackstone’s Charlotte Kilroy KC about ground-breaking litigation brought by Anti Trafficking and Labour Exploitation Unit (ATLEU), on behalf of a young Indonesian man on a seasonal worker visa who was left homeless and in serious debt following exploitation on a UK fruit farm. The case argues that the visa scheme lacks the necessary safeguards to protect people from slavery and exploitation.
Jamila also celebrates ten years of ATLEU’s work as the only UK charity dedicated to providing specialist legal representation to survivors of trafficking and slavery and advocating for their rights and justice.
