The world wide response to the the death of George Floyd cannot be allowed to go unnoticed. True it is the news, on the TV and in every corner of social media.

Demonstrations and rioting are wide spread. Attack the police, loot a some shops, pull down some statues, but why? to what avail? what is the goal?

Equality for all? probably? maybe? But what about those still in Slavery?

History books tell us that the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833 and the 13th amendement of 1867 in the USA marked the end of slavery. But 150 plus year later Slavery is still rife.

The death of George Floyd has highlighted how wide spread the publics dislike of inequality and slavery is and makes this the perfect time to fight against modern slavery.

If all western businesses increased staff awareness of the problem, audited their supply chains and had a positive action plan to fight modern day slavery it would make a huge difference.

Running awareness training sessions for managers and staff is an effective starting point.
