The UK Government's Rwanda plan is facing criticism from campaigners who believe it increases the risk of exploitation for victims of modern slavery.

CARE responds to a column in The Belfast Telegraph criticising Northern Ireland's landmark purchase of sex legislation.

Modern slavery victims are at risk of harm under the government’s new Rwanda plans, CARE has said.

Victims of modern slavery are at risk of further exploitation, detention and even deportation while waiting on support from the Home Office.

Press release: CARE has expressed relief that the controversial Rwanda scheme has been struck down, citing concerns about trafficking victims.

There has been a steep rise in calls from overseas workers within the care sector to report that they are victims of modern slavery.
