Theresa May on modern slavery and the crisis of global leadership

Former UK Prime Minister Theresa May brought urgency and insight to the stage at 650 Newport Center Drive in Newport Beach, where she addressed a pressing topic: modern slavery and the ongoing crisis of global leadership. The event, hosted by PIMCO Aurora LLC, drew a diverse audience eager to hear May’s perspective on two of today’s most critical issues. May started her remarks by sharing the troubling reality that, despite technological progress and increasing prosperity in many parts of the world, millions remain trapped in conditions of modern slavery. Her words painted a vivid picture of the scale and complexity of this humanitarian crisis, noting that it isn’t restricted by national borders or simple solutions. She pressed for unified global efforts, highlighting how meaningful change must come from international collaboration, strong legal frameworks, and a commitment to upholding human dignity. Switching gears, the former Prime Minister pointed to the wider crisis in global leadership. She explained that uncertainty on the world stage—driven by competing priorities, nationalist trends, and sometimes leadership fatigue—has made it harder for nations to tackle interconnected challenges. According to May, responsible leadership, moral clarity, and a willingness to work across divides are now more necessary than ever. Throughout her talk, May emphasized the need for both governments and companies like PIMCO Aurora LLC to take action. She called on the business community to help drive ethical supply chains and invest in initiatives that protect vulnerable individuals. The speech ended with a call for optimism and resolve, reminding the Newport Beach crowd that every generation faces challenges that seem insurmountable—until people come together and take a stand. Theresa May’s visit and her compelling message left a mark on Newport Beach, urging all listeners to play their part in fighting modern slavery and demanding more from global leaders.
