Survivors of Human Trafficking in Scotland Receives Stanley Pritchard Award

Lodged by Paul Sweeney (Scottish Labour) Standard Motion 16 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Survivors of Human Trafficking in Scotland on receiving the annual Stanley Pritchard Award in recognition of its work in supporting 40 men who are survivors of human trafficking in the fishing industry; understands that the organisation has been able to advocate for legal support for each of the men and has facilitated a meeting between representatives of the group and senior Crown Office staff; further understands that the organisation continues to give the survivors ongoing support; acknowledges what it sees as the significance of the Stanley Pritchard Award being given to an anti-trafficking charity based in Scotland, given the efforts of the Glaswegian, Reverend Stanley Pritchard, in pioneering fundraising for humanitarian relief during his own life, and commends the work of Survivors of Human Trafficking in Scotland regarding prevention, victim recovery, long-term survivor support and advocacy, in order to end human trafficking in Scotland for good.
