British Embassy Warsaw launches 'Don't Become a Victim of Modern Slavery' campaign

British Embassy Warsaw is taking part in a campaign aimed at informing about the risks of becoming a victim of modern slavery.

British Embassy Warsaw, together with local partners in Poland (Ministry of Interior and Administration, Police, Border Guard and other NGOs), as well as with the support of some of the biggest local job advertising sites, has prepared a campaign aimed at informing about the risks of becoming the victim of modern slavery. The campaign is focused on the issue of forced labour.

With the increasing uncertainty of the labour market, caused by the current pandemic, and with potentially more people seeking quick employment, there is a risk that this situation will be taken advantage of by criminal groups recruiting people for forced labour. This risk is particularly relevant in the situation of those seeking employment abroad. Our campaign informs how to safely look for employment, how to avoid being taken advantage of, and who to contact if you need help.
