Here is another person to add to the growing list of celebrity, anti-slavery activists: British singer-songwriter Natasha Bedingfield.

She is a supporter for the U.K. anti-slavery organization Stop the Traffik, and appeared in the 2008 “rockumentary” “Call+Response,” a film raising awareness about modern day slavery. Other artists and celebrities that appeared in the film include Ashley Judd, Daryl Hannah, Talib Kweli, Tom Petty and Matisyahu.

In a recent interview with Mlive.com, Bedingfield said, “We celebrate slavery being abolished… but slavery is rampant: We have more slaves than ever before in the world. Every human being deserves to be free.”

Can you help end the conditions that cause modern slavery?
