After years on the frontline, Unis Resist Border Control (URBC) have extensive familiarity with the exploitative situations migrant students in the UK find themselves in. As such, we are extremely concerned about The Observer article “ Human traffickers ‘using UK universities as cover’ ” published on 3 July 2022 by Shanti Das, and the conclusions that are drawn upon.
The Conservatives have used human trafficking as a pretext to enforce more draconian border controls, including expanding the hostile environment policy. Likewise, anti-trafficking policies have instead criminalised exploited migrants , rather than going after the real problem- the UK’s inhumane border regime.
