You
Modern slavery may be a global problem, but it is not an intractable one. Together we can be the last generation living with the man-made problem of slavery.
Champion accountability
Become an advocate and help us champion for new policies to protect all people.
Ensure no one is harmed in producing the clothes you wear, the food you eat and the technology we rely on.
We conservatively estimate 49.6 million people around the world are living in modern slavery. That is more than any other time in human history.
At school / university
Consider how you and your classmates and teachers can get involved in the fight to end modern slavery.
At work
No industry is slavery-free, but the way it manifests can be very different.
At your place of worship
Ask your faith leaders to prepare religious services on modern slavery or guest speakers.

Romanian girls dressed as brides in cages march in row in central Bucharest during a promotional event for the movie Daca Bobul nu moare (If the Seed Doesn’t Die) by Sinisa Dragin, drawing attention to the dangers of human trafficking and sexual exploitation.
As a consumer, you have more power than you realise. Each and every one of us has an opportunity to raise our voices to ensure exploitation doesn’t continue as a normalised standard in global supply chains.
Dear [business name],
I am your customer/a potential customer, and I love your products.
However, I am concerned that I couldn’t find information on how your products are made and whether the workers who made them are treated with dignity. Due diligence and transparency are key to ending modern slavery in supply chains.
Could you please therefore tell me what your business is doing to ensure that workers in your supply chain are not experiencing modern slavery, including forced labour?
I encourage you to visit Walk Free’s Business and Investor Toolkit designed to help you take action to improve human rights standards in supply chains and combat forced labour, human trafficking and other forms of modern slavery.
Sincerely,
[Your name]
