This report details the work The Passage has undertaken over the past five years, both operationally and strategically. We have collaborated with numerous organisations, working domestically and internationally on the intersection between homelessness, modern slavery and human trafficking.
The Passage is immensely proud of what has been achieved over the last five years and is highly motivated to build on this work to achieve long-term systemic change.
As with all our work, it is not enough to simply address the emergency in front of us; we must also explore preventative strategies in policy and practice to prevent these issues from occurring in the first place.
In 2017, The Passage was the first organisation to identify the links between homelessness and modern slavery.
Since then, our efforts have expanded to include pioneering services on the ground, strategic collaborations with other organisations and government bodies to drive systemic change, and the production of extensive resources for professionals in the homelessness and modern slavery sectors.
We have also provided training and guidance. Most recently, our work has involved investigating and confirming the link between homelessness and human trafficking in other international cities.
