Baroness Theresa May

Theresa May, Baroness May of Maidenhead, was the longest serving Home Secretary in over a century and the second female Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. She was the Member of Parliament for Maidenhead for 27 years before stepping down in 2024. She was made a life peer in 2024 and contributes regularly in the House of Lords on a range on national and international issues.

Baroness May believes that modern slavery is the human rights issue of our time and has focused tackling the issue of modern slavery for many years. During her time as Home Secretary, she introduced the Modern Slavery Act which was the first of its kind in Europe. The Act has led to considerable increases in tackling modern slavery offences at every stage and created the UK’s first Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner. As Prime Minister, Baroness May created a modern slavery taskforce; launched a UN Call to Action to eliminate modern slavery and human trafficking, which has since been endorsed by 92 countries; and established the Policy and Evidence Centre on Modern Slavery and Human Rights.

Baroness May chairs the Global Commission on Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking, an international initiative launched in 2023 to exert high-level leverage to restore momentum towards achieving UN Sustainable Development Goal 8.7 to eradicate forced labour, end modern slavery and human trafficking.
