Nominations Open for Anti-Slavery Day Awards 2023     The Human Trafficking Foundation holds an annual awards ceremony to mark Anti-Slavery Day, supported by Marsh Charitable Trust. We recognise both the work of groups or individuals who fight Modern Slavery and human trafficking and the vital work of the media in increasing awareness and understanding of modern slavery. We are delighted to announce that nominations for both Media Categories and Outstanding Contributions to the Fight Against Slavery Categories are now open for 2023. Anyone professionally connected to modern slavery or anyone who benefits from the services a modern slavery organisation provides can send in a nomination. Nominations should be sent to [email protected] by Tuesday 1st August 5pm ahead of shortlisting and voting, along with any questions you have about the nomination form.  A shortlist for the awards will be announced on our website once nominations close.     Outstanding Contribution Categories The Marsh Awards for Outstanding Contributions to the Fight Against Slavery recognise the work of individuals and organisations going over and above what is expected. The categories are:  Reducing Vulnerabilities (Advocacy Award)  Rebuilding Lives (Frontline Award) Empowering Survivor Voices Award   Statutory Services Award We are particularly interested in nominations of individuals and organisations doing fantastic work but who are perhaps not getting the recognition they deserve, including public officials.
