Within the Helen Bamber Foundation research department, we have been working on an exciting, fully co-produced research project. Co-produced research is when both researchers with lived experience of the research topic and researchers with more “traditional” academic experience work together as team members on a project, with the aim of integrating and equally valuing both forms of knowledge.

Decade of Dignity - drafted by a coalition of anti-trafficking and modern slavery organisations, including the Anti-Trafficking Monitoring Group - sets out a bold strategic vision for the next decade. Built on four pillars - mandatory corporate accountability, a toughened criminal justice response, survivor-centred recovery, and a national strategy for child protection - it moves beyond piecemeal fixes to offer systemic, cross-departmental solutions.

The Helen Bamber Foundation collaborated with University College London to do a first-of-its-kind UK study, gathering firsthand accounts from human trafficking survivors about their experiences with oath-taking and how their relationship to the oath evolved over time.
