A special visit to our Gloucester Women's Centre 💜Yesterday, we were pleased to welcome Rt Hon Theresa May and Richard Graham to our Women's Centre in Gloucester. It was fantastic to hear about the Global Commission on Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking, an international initiative to eradicate trafficking and slavery. Katie Lewis, Gloucester Women’s Centre Partnerships and Development Manager, said, “We are supporting women and girls every day who are affected by these issues. We welcome any systemic change that will increase the availability of support”.Christina Line, Chief Operating Officer, added, ‘‘Modern slavery and human trafficking isn’t something that happens elsewhere – it happens here in our local communities, in Gloucestershire and we support the commitment to tackle these awful issues which affect the women and girls we work with”.We are grateful for your visit and continued support in addressing these critical issues.#TheNelsonTrust
