In a world where modern slavery continues to lurk in the shadows, the power of awareness and action within our communities has never been more critical. This unique partnership between Sandwell and Birmingham Local Authority, the West Midlands Anti-Slavery Network, Black Country Women’s Aid (BCWA), and the Violence Reduction Partnership (VRP) brings you an enlightening session designed for faith leaders and community members across the faith sector.
