Finance Against Trafficking (a branch of human rights charity Stop the Traffik) appeals directly to businesses, helping them adapt their respective approaches to identifying and preventing trafficking practices such as bonded labour and modern slavery within their supply chain.
I created blog content for Finance' Against' Trafficking's website, drafting content that was balanced, sensitive and insightful, and completing and editing each piece in line with the charity’s objectives.
As a charity that relies on voluntary work, Stop the Traffik offered me an internship that I was able to complete whilst working for MC2, as I produced blog content for them throughout the year.
