Free the Slaves works to convince governments, international development organizations and businesses to implement key changes required for global slavery eradication. We document leading-edge practices in order to persuade others to mainstream anti-slavery activities into existing development projects.
Governments should be leading the way in the eradication of slavery. Why? Because they've already promised to end it. Every country has enacted laws banning slavery. But passing a law and enforcing it are different challenges. Free the Slaves speaks to the powerful on behalf of the powerless, to move those with resources to take action. Learn more >
Is what you wear, eat, drive or watch tainted by slavery? Many products are. By advocating for corporate transparency and accountability, Free the Slaves is working to provide consumers and investors with vital information to make informed choices. Removing slavery-tainted products from the global economy will have a worldwide ripple effect in areas plagued by slavery. Learn more >
Slavery does not exist in a vacuum. It is often a symptom of other social and economic problems. In turn, slavery can make those problems even worse. That's why Free the Slaves works to identify common cause with other organizations, to build a shared agenda that amplifies our work and enhances the work of others. Learn more >
Free the Slaves has written the book on slavery—literally. Readers discover the global forces that trap the vulnerable and hear directly from victims about the toll slavery takes on their lives, their families, and their communities. But, just as important, Free the Slaves books provide hope. Survivors recount how they escaped, and activists describe how slavery can be conquered. Learn more >
Free the Slaves videos are designed to both educate and motivate. Our award-winning film teams have traveled the world to reveal the anguish of trafficking and the joy of liberation. All videos are freely available to be played at schools, churches, civic groups, public meetings—or any venue where the voices of slaves and front-line activists can help inspire action. Learn more >
Activists, academics and the general public are thirsty for evidence about what works in bringing slavery to an end. Free the Slaves is helping to fill this knowledge gap. We help serve as a convener for the movement, and our experts are helping shape the discussion about slavery at colleges and influential gatherings. Learn more >
It takes a special kind of freedom fighter to conquer slavery. It takes people with savvy and grit, people who'll risk their lives on the front lines and speak truth in the halls of power. Free the Slaves created the Freedom Awards to showcase the examples being set by these heroes of the modern anti-slavery movement.
