August 23rd marks UNESCO’s International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition. Today, we remember the victims of slavery and honour their courage, resilience, and resistance.
The effects of slavery can extend across generations, shaping trauma, identity, wellbeing, and social experiences. Understanding these psychological impacts helps us recognise the lasting effects of oppression.
Although slavery has been abolished, modern forms of slavery continue to affect people worldwide. Remembering the past helps us understand the present. 🧠
