An exhibition on the scourge of modern slavery opened in Southwell Minster to mark Modern Slavery Day.
The exhibition highlights how modern slavery is everywhere in our communities and tells the stories of some of the victims. A video also tells the story of the problem.
It hopes to make people aware of the extent of modern slavery and alert them of the signs and do what they can to stop it.
Modern slavery involves forced labour, for example in fruit and vegetable picking, nail bars, and car washes; domestic servitude, forced sex working, forcing victims to commit crimes such as pickpocketing and involvement in county drugs lines.
The exhibition runs until November 13.
