Poole Soroptimists at Unchosen Event

Soroptimist International Poole members represented the Purple Teardrop Campaign at the recent Dorchester Stands Against Slavery event.

Unchosen is a Bristol-based charity that raises awareness of modern day slavery through film.

After the showing of Unchosen’s film on forced labour, there was a panel discussion with questions from the audience opened by the Mayor of Dorchester and answered by representatives from the Gangmasters Licensing Authority, Poole Police and Unchosen.

The Purple Teardrop Campaign’s stand distributed leaflets, posters, bookmarks and pin badges to raise awareness of human trafficking and raise funds for rescued victim support.
