Together with the Modern Slavery and Human Rights Policy and Evidence Centre, we worked directly with people with lived experience of exploitation to guide the language and narratives the messages promote. modernslaverypec.org/resources/fram…

🚨 We *must* join together to address narratives of division in the UK. We wrote a blog reflecting on far-right extremism in the UK through the lens of narrative change and offering some resources that might be useful. You can read our blog here: publicinterest.org.uk/working-toward…

Community solidarity is the only way to beat hate and division. Last night, we showed up in our 1000s to resist the far right, from London to Liverpool. We're inspired by the beautiful show of solidarity. We'll never stop fighting to resist racism and attacks on our neighbours

8. There was a strong feeling that people with lived experience need to retain control over their personal stories at all times, including how it’s told, what it’s used for, where it appears, how long it takes to write and sign off etc.

7. Lived experience experts stressed that modern slavery has a lot to do with the lack of choices, caused by wider structures that put them at risk of being exploited. Survivors disliked describing them as ‘vulnerable people’, making it part of their identity.

6. Modern slavery is not a neutral frame and often gets in a way of people’s understanding of the issue, triggering the association with the drama triangle above and clouding the wider picture. Talking about specific forms of exploitation instead seems to be more effective in explaining what modern slavery can entail.

5. The term ‘victim’ evokes pity - not empathy - amongst the public and is disempowering for people with lived experience. Both on the preference of ‘survivor’ (evoking strength & resilience - but with caveats) and a ‘person with lived experience’ (avoking a leading role).

4. Evoking empathy can help shift public attitudes towards modern slavery. Using shared values and simple, relatable language to evoke empathy with people experiencing trafficking can be used to disrupt or temporarily dislodge the blocking narrative around ‘illegal migration’.

3. Dominant narratives around immigration & crime shape attitudes to modern slavery. Even if people were sympathetic to how ‘desperate’ migrants' situation was, some expressed that they were ‘complicit’ in their exploitation, especially if coming to the UK irregularly.

2. Outlining how specific policies that put people at risk of exploitation can help reduce the blame placed on individuals, shift the emphasis towards the structural drivers of modern slavery and set up a conversation around how policy change is part of the solution.

KEY FINDINGS 1. Drama triangle dominates the narrative on modern slavery – and masks the complexity of it Modern slavery is often framed as a 'triangle' of the government (hero) cracking down on the villains (traffickers) enslaving the victims, which masks its complexity.
