"We know that vulnerability is not distributed evenly. Vulnerability hits the socially
marginalized hardest, and it falls hardest on the margins of marginalized."— Mario
Bruzzone, Policy Advisor in the Women’s Refugee Commission’s Migrant Rights and Justice
program

Dear Jo,

"Looking at the British approach to anti-trafficking, it's an extremely carceral approach.
So you have the bad trafficker on one side and then the vulnerable victim on the other side.
And that dynamic removes the problem from its systemic context." — Francesca Humi,
Writer on border and state violence, migrant domestic workers’ rights, U.K. modern slavery

At the beginning of the discussion, 70% of the audience said they were somewhat aware of
current migration policies, with 91 % believing that stricter border control is not the
answer by the end. How about you? Share your comments and keep the dialogue going.
