Policy and Evidence Centre for Modern Slavery and Human Rights

现代奴隶制使全球4000万人陷入困境，每年给英国经济造成的损失在33亿至43亿GB之间，被首相描述为“我们这个时代最大的人权问题”。尽管英国制定了世界领先的现代奴隶法，但英国仍有1万至1.3万人被奴役，这些人往往隐藏在人们的视线中。政策和证据中心(PEC)将为政府、议会、企业、非政府组织和国际组织提供独立、公正和权威的实用洞察和分析。它将进行以政策为重点的研究，应对战略挑战，增进了解，并鼓励创新和有效的解决方案。

Modern slavery traps 40 million people worldwide, costs the UK economy between £3.3-£4.3bn a year and is described by the Prime Minister as "the great human rights issue of our time" . Despite the UK's world leading Modern Slavery Act, there are still between 10,000-13,000 people enslaved in the UK, often hidden in plain sight. A Policy and Evidence Centre (PEC) will provide independent, impartial and authoritative insight and analysis of practical utility to Government, Parliament, business, NGOs, and international organisations. It will undertake policy-focussed research, respond to strategic challenges, advance understanding and stimulate innovative and effective solutions.
