The Big Issue. United Kingdom.
An app that is used to uncover modern slavery at car washes has uncovered more than 900 instances of forced labour in the UK.
The Safe Car Wash App was launched last June to let drivers report evidence at the source after the industry was identified to have as many as 24,000 enslaved workers.
The tech allows drivers to log the location of the hand car wash on their phone and report any telltale signs – like evidence of workers living on site – which will then be passed on to police.
