In the last five years, hundreds of women have been saved from domestic slavery and violent abuse in the UK. More than 220 of those rescues were carried out by a small, fearless band of volunteers.

      Oh I’m sure there’s some sort of contract and pay. Work place violence related crimes maybe, unpaid hours? paying below minimum wages? I couldn’t tell if the one woman was claiming he raped her, or she was a previous victim of rape being abused again. But if he raped her too that would be the big charge.

      I’m not sure about rich. I’m sure about awful and shitty. But I’m not so sure about rich, why do you think you that?

      Edit: they said the dad worked 2 jobs, and they fought over money, again with the Slav husband. So if they had it, I’m not so sure it wasn’t mb average type. Sociopatical for sure tho.

    Herein the USA we spend a lot of time in elementary school learning of our own nations history of slavery. These teachings are almost always in the past tense so it makes it very easy to forget that there is still modern slavery. We still has work to do to improve our society.

    Honest Question: Can’t they just go to the Police? I mean it looked like they can just leave the House. Can’t they go to the nearest Police station?

      Think of it in the same respect as someone who is kidnapped and held for years. It’s not as easy as walk out the front door and go tell someone and all is better.

        I tried that but my first thought was go to the Police. (because it looked like they can leave the House) But there I obviously a reason I missed and that’s why I asked 😅 Other People where so kind to point out that they might fear deportation which was a point I was not aware of. My imagination can only cover things I’m aware of. And I don’t really know much about modern slavery and the circumstances around it. Which was again why I asked.

      Why did that get downvoted? I was just asking a Question about a topic I don’t understand. I was not saying anything controversial ._. I was just confused about the situation.
