Hestia is the largest provider of modern slavery support in London and the South East.
Modern slavery is a serious crime in which people are coerced or deceived into a situation where they are exploited, for the purpose of making a profit. The offence is punishable by up to life imprisonment under the 2015 Modern Slavery Act.
Modern slavery takes many forms including trafficking for sexual exploitation (including being forced to sell sex in its many forms, involuntary work in strip clubs or in the pornography industry), domestic servitude (including working as cleaners, carers or nannies) and forced labour in work such as nail bars and car washes.
