🚨#homegrownslavery & EU citizens - April 4th 18:00-19:00
Many employers do not understand immigration status documents. Faced with fines for getting it wrong, they are afraid to employ refugees and other non-EU migrants. Brexit only exacerbates the situation, as it is no longer
clear to employers which EU migrants have the right to work in the UK. This creates a climate in which we face discrimination, exploitation and even unlawful detention
A case study of EU citizens pushed into exploitation, and migration laws being used as a backdoor to undermine
our labour rights under the withdrawal agreement. EU citizens and EU leaders must learn from the experience of Non-EEA and EU citizens from BME backgrounds, who have been forced into exploitation since 1996, and recently, through the Temporary visa schemes in various sectors.
We have the legal right to work, but we can not work because of migration laws. Joins us eventbrite.co.uk/e/discriminati…

🚨Tomorrow evening -
Institutional racism does not exist, they said, last year. google.com/amp/s/www.inde… Also, while some remain deeply invested in the idea that forced labour has nothing to do with structural inequalities, or that in this
context race and gender matter little, there is an abundance of research that demonstrates that poverty and labour exploitation disproportionately impact women, lower castes, and non-white and indigenous people.
#homegrownslavery, labour exploitation at the intersection
of migration and labour laws is rooted in discrimination. Migrants who have the legal right to work are shafted into exploitation because of #right2workchecks is to complex. From 6 April, #IDVTchecks will push Brits &Irish ctzns into exploitation.

🚨The government has once again changed the list of documents are employers are required to obtain to establish a statutory defence against an illegal employing offence( not an illegal working offence).🤦🏿‍♂️ #IDVTchecks conflicts with #right2rightchecks and Immigration Act 1971
A brief by @freemovementlaw on IDVT checks. There was already a conflict between the #right2workchecks and the Immigration Act 1991. The victims between 1996-2008 were non EEA. Between 2008-2020, new victims were Black @EU_Commission citizens. Between 2020-2022, new victims
were white EU citizens( some from the date of the referundum). With these new changes, from April 2022, the new victims will be white British & irish citizens. The conflict between #IDVTchecks and #Right2workchecks is only making the matter worse. @CeoGlaa @WestMidsASN

Dear Brothers and sisters EU citizens,

Two weeks ago,we won the @HumanTraffFdn 's Anti-slavery day Awards 2021 in the category 'Empowering Survivors Voices'.
While some remain deeply invested in the idea that forced labour has nothing to do with structural inequalities,or that
in this context race and gender matter little, based on our lived experience, we can say that what we call #homegrownslavery is rooted in race and immigration status discrimination. Unlike modern slavery , homegrown slavery can be tackled very easily.
'Your work to tackle the exploitation and discrimination faced by migrants workers ,and your efforts to raise awareness of these issues , is exemplary, and has been recognised by the judging panel as outstanding. Therefore , we have arranged for £... [T]

🚨 International migrants' day🚨humantraffickingfoundation.org/news/2021/11/1…
"While British survivors of Modern Slavery are now recognised as the largest cohort in referrals to the National Referral Mechanism, the Government’s framework for identifying victims, their voices are not being heard." And
#labourmigrationcontrol measures shaft migrants, who have the legal right to work, into slavery. But we only talk about international human trafficking for modern slavery. Between 13-18 Dec, for the International Migrants' day, we will bring you events, workshops, radio show in
in Birmingham to raise awareness about #homegrownslavery. We can easily tackle the roots of this form of exploitation without changing any laws. What is needed is investment and commitment. We will introduce you to our first working group to offer solutions to our problems. Image

@JCWI_UK @VirendraSharma It is how #homegrownslavery is created. Immigration law creates vulnerability. We have been saying this for a very longtime. The government is responsible for modern slavery.
@JCWI_UK @VirendraSharma We don't know if people realise how important this piece research is. We don't have the resources to produce any research, so thank you Jcwi for this research. This paper shows that the government is 82% responsible for #homegrownslavery. The new immigration bill is on its way
@JCWI_UK @VirendraSharma It is likely to exacerbate the problem and make the work of the GLAA more challenging as victims of modern slavery will be required to provide relevant information relating to being a victim of  slavery or human trafficking within a specified period
