Slavery 2025 + Support

First- my view on the prevention.

 

Children grow into adults who shape society, yet most leave school without tools to handle life’s challenges.

 Teaching boundaries, resilience, practical skills, and philosophy is essential for building a just and free society. 

Boundaries foster respect and healthy relationships, while resilience prepares students to face adversity without collapsing or lashing out. 

Skills, from financial literacy to conflict resolution, empower independence. 

Philosophy — including modern voices like Sam Harris, Krishnamurti, and Alan Watts — encourages critical thinking, self-awareness, and questioning dogma.

 These thinkers invite students to explore ethics, consciousness, and the roots of freedom. 

A curriculum grounded in these elements produces citizens who are thoughtful, strong, and resistant to manipulation, ensuring freedom is not just inherited but understood and sustained.

Global Modern Slavery Trends (1999–Present)

1. Modern Slavery Prevalence

In 2021, around 50 million people were living in modern slavery, including forced labour (28 million) and forced marriage (22 million). Source: International Labour Organization (ILO).

In 2024, the ILO reported 27 million people in forced labour globally, generating profits of approximately $236 billion annually—up 37% since 2014. About 73% of those profits come from sexual exploitation. Source: The Guardian.

2. Child Trafficking & Forced Labour

As of 2022, roughly 160 million children were engaged in child labour worldwide—an increase of 8.4 million over four years. Many are trapped in forced labour. Source: Forced Labour of Children Brief.(pdf)

Child labour remains deeply tied to global supply chains, particularly in agriculture, manufacturing, mining, and related industries. Source: OECD. (Pdf)

3. European Sex Slavery & Trafficking

The ILO reports that sexual exploitation is the most profitable form of slavery: although only 27% of victims face sexual exploitation, they account for 73% of illicit profits. Source: ILO via The Guardian.

In the UK (including Scotland), British nationals—including men—are now frequently identified as trafficking victims, both in sexual and labour exploitation. Source: The Scottish Sun.

Lenny Henry- ww2 ring bells? TRAITOR?

 Lenny Henry’s Betrayal of Britain By Liz Lucy Robillard The Man Who Once United Us Sir Lenny Henry was once the face of Britain’s better self — talent over privilege, laughter over division. A boy from Dudley who broke barriers through wit, timing, and graft. He represented the proof that this country, for all its flaws, still rewarded merit. Millions saw themselves in his rise: the Britain where race mattered less than effort. Now, after a lifetime of success, he is calling for reparations from the nation that gave him everything. That is not courage; it is betrayal disguised as conscience. Britain’s Record Deserves Respect Britain did not invent slavery, but it did lead the world in abolishing it. Parliament outlawed the trade in 1807, and the Empire abolished slavery itself in 1833. British ships hunted slavers for decades at enormous cost. Tens of thousands of sailors fought and died intercepting slave vessels. Our ancestors paid in blood and treasure to end a global evil. No ...

ASSUMPTIONS- the worst enemy of every profession

Image
  Picture by Elimende Inagella- Unsplash Assumptions duckie, are the velvet gloves that hide the iron fists of error. We make them quickly, often with the best intentions, and they lead us straight into the lion’s mouth. Let me walk you through a few examples. There was a case in medicine where a woman came in with chest pain. The doctor assumed it was anxiety—she was young, female, not the “typical” heart attack candidate. They didn’t run the tests. She died. That assumption, that profile, cost her everything. In law enforcement, we’ve seen it time and again. A man pulled over because he “looked suspicious.” No crime, no evidence, just a gut feeling and a profile. He was arrested, humiliated, and later released. But the damage was done. His dignity, his trust in the system—shattered. Recruitment is another battlefield. A CV with a foreign-sounding name gets tossed aside. The candidate might have been brilliant, but the recruiter assumed they wouldn’t “fit.” No interview, no chance...

Measles- who suffers most?

 A 2024 case report describes a ten-month-old female who developed viremia, meningoencephalitis, and multi-organ failure after receiving the live-attenuated measles vaccine.  Whole-genome sequencing revealed a homozygous loss-of-function mutation in IFNAR2, abolishing type-I interferon signaling and leaving the child vulnerable to severe viral disease.  The authors note that defects in IFNAR2 define immunodeficiency-45 and that carriers of such mutations are at high risk for life-threatening complications from either natural measles infection or the live vaccine itself . Poland and co-workers have repeatedly shown that common single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the measles virus receptors CD46 and SLAM, as well as in TLR3, TLR7, TLR8, RIG-I, and multiple HLA class I and II loci, significantly modulate cytokine release, antibody production, and cellular immunity after measles exposure or vaccination. Individuals carrying the “low-response” alleles mount weaker antiviral res...
