A Pembrokeshire woman who committed herself into 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, Dr. Kelly 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, Dr. Kelly 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.

She was presented with the British Empire Medal by the Lord-Lieutenant of Dyfed, Miss Sara Edwards, in a ceremony at County Hall on Friday and was accompanied by family members.
