Leeds Anti-Sex Trafficking network (LAST) seeks to highlight the realities faced by trafficked women worldwide, and empower individuals and groups to take action against trafficking in their local communities.
We run events and campaigns in aid of local and national anti-trafficking organisations working to support trafficked women directly or campaign on the wider issue. By doing this, we amplify their voices in the community when they don't have the resources to do it themselves.
What they do:
" Anyone can be a part of combating sex trafficking but sometimes it’s hard to know where to begin. To help you get started we’ve created this Action bank which contains a wide range of actions you can do in your local community, or even from the comfort of your own home...
