A PEMBROKESHIRE woman who has committed herself to combating modern slavery has been presented with the British Empire Medal.
Dr Anne Kelly of Saundersfoot was recognised in the Queen’s Birthday Honours in June.
A Swansea University lecturer, she sits on the Dyfed-Powys anti-slavery forum that meets in Carmarthen. Much of her work is done through the Soroptimist International organisation.
Through her personal commitment, she is contributing to more victims of slavery being identified, recovered and supported as well as bringing their perpetrators to justice.
It is partly through her determination and constant lobbying of MPs that the Modern Slavery Act became law in March 2015.
Dr Kelly was presented with the British Empire Medal by the Lord-Lieutenant of Dyfed, Miss Sara Edwards, in a ceremony at County Hall on Friday (October 11).
Dr Kelly was accompanied by family members.
