International Human Rights Day

Proceeding contribution from David Drew (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 20 December 2017. It occurred during Debate on International Human Rights Day.

As always, my right hon. Friend makes a compelling case. Does she agree that one of the biggest threats to our world is the growth of slavery? To be fair, this Parliament and this Government have done what they should do, but I attended a film yesterday about the return of a slave, a woman named Mende Nazer, who went back to the Nuba mountains in South Sudan, a place I know very well. It is horrifying to know that, as a result of the conflict there, slavery is—dare I say it—alive and well.
