Summary of Unchosen

Unchosen raises awareness of human trafficking predominantly in the UK. We raise awareness with front line professionals and the general public, including schools and universities, through the screening of film/documentaries. Screenings are supported by professional post film panels and information from relevant exhibitors, along with the provision of ‘How to Respond’ packs which ensure a sustainable source of information following the event. Unchosen film campaigns are managed by core groups of volunteers or partner organisations throughout the UK, who are affiliated to and in receipt of support from Unchosen.

Unchosen is proud to be launching the first ever Human Trafficking Short Film Awards in UK & Ireland during 2013.

Unchosen was founded in 2008 and has grown rapidly ever since. Until April 2012, Unchosen was entirely volunteer run. We now have 2 part-time paid staff members and rely heavily on the support of 23 volunteers placed around the UK.
