<p>The Prime Minister has called modern slavery one of the great human rights challenges
of our time, and has made eradicating this scourge one of her top foreign policy priorities.
We have committed to doubling our aid spend in support of this objective to £150 million.
In Libya, we have provided humanitarian aid to migrants and refugees and delivered
assistance in detention centres. We are also increasing our engagement with the Libyan
law enforcement authorities to tackle organised crime and trafficking. We have provided
specific support to women and girls, to protect them from the heightened risks of
trafficking and sexual and gender based violence. The UK regularly raises with the
Libyan Government the need for wider respect for human rights and accountability.</p>
