I made my first
“public appearance” as Wolverhampton Law Society President on 3rd
July when I attended the so-called “Gift Box”.
A temporary art
–installation brought to Wolverhampton at the initiative of Bilston
Soroptimists the “Gift –Box” is aimed at supporting the UN’s global initiative
to raise awareness about human trafficking. Complete with beautiful wrapping
and with a ribbon on top from the outside the “Gift Box” appears enticing and
full of promise. However, once you get beyond the attractive exterior what lies
behind is a portrayal of the harsh realities of human trafficking.
The Gift Box was
in Dudley Street for 2 days drawing attention to this worthy cause and attracting
plenty of interest from members of the public.
I am pictured below
