Reception

Slavery is not a phenomenon of the past, it is a feature of the present. Many humans in many places are put into conditions where they cannot escape. The only option they have is to work with the hope that one day they might be free - but this day never comes. We here in this VCC are determined to develop a community that can help to identify modern-day slavery and find ways to free those who are enslaved.

If you are disgraced by the extent of modern day slavery and want to be part of a community that aims to discover modern day slavery, ensure that these cases are widely known, and find ways to overcome this abhorrent feature of modern society then we would welcome you as a member of this VCC.

[May 09, 2026] Doomsday Clock is Getting Closer to Midnight: In January, the Doomsday clock was set to 85 seconds before midnight, the closest setting since it was established in 1947 in response to the threat of nuclear war. Sophie McBain in her article “‘The odds are not in our favour’: who sets the Doomsday Clock – and what can they tell us about the future of humanity?” emphasizes that with the wars on Iran and on the Ukraine, the rapid and largely uncontrolled development of AI and the climate breakdown all together increasing the likelihood of a nuclear war, the clock now stands closer to midnight than ever before. She asks the question of whether we can buy ourselves more time.
