Victims of sexual exploitation are forced to perform non-consensual or abusive sexual acts or work in the commercial sex industry such as prostitution, escort work and pornography. Women and children make up the majority of victims, but men can also be affected. Individuals are subjected to force, threats, coercion, or deception designed to induce them.
If you suspect someone is being exploited, call the UK modern slavery & exploitation helpline on 08000 121 700

A prayer for A Level results day 🙏
God of knowledge,
You told us not to be afraid.
Earlier this year, many children, young people and adults took examinations and are about to receive their results.
Thank you for the brilliance of young minds and for the staff, friends, and parents who supported them along the way.
Ease their anxieties and lift them up, support those who are discerning what to do next.
And no matter the grade, let them know they are worthy and that you are proud,
Amen.
Prayer by James Carver, Youth President of the Methodist Church
