Kate Garbers (born 1981) is a founder and former managing director[1][2] of the Bristol, UK-based anti-slavery organisation and charity Unseen.
She also works with law enforcement agencies and governments on how to tackle trafficking, including contributing to the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and the National Referral Mechanism Review.
This gave rise to problems including alcohol and drug abuse, homelessness, human trafficking and prostitution, which local police had difficulty dealing with.
[6] Garbers teamed up with Andrew Wallis, an anti-trafficking campaigner, to establish Unseen UK in November 2008[7] and later opened southwest England's first safe house for women victims of trafficking in Bristol.
[13] She was also named as one of the 100 most influential women in the west of England for her work fighting modern-day slavery at a local, national and international level.
