Abolition of Slavery Reception

Asked for further information about the abolition of slavery reception tonight, the PMOS informed people that that it was about signing up to the Council of Europe Convention on Human Trafficking which had been signed by more than 30 other countries. The Convention required signatories to provide victims with secure accommodation, access to emergency medical assistance, translation services, counselling, assistance with judicial proceedings and access to education for children. The PMOS said that this was marking the start of the commemoration of the bi-centenary of the abolition of slavery.
