Free the Slaves is a Washington, DC-based organization dedicated to ending modern slavery and the conditions that allow it to persist. With a focus on social, cultural, and political factors that make individuals vulnerable, they work to empower at-risk communities through targeted training and connections to resources, fostering grassroots resistance against slavery. Through their pivotal role in Alliance 8.7 and strategic collaborations with partners, they aim to reshape policies and drive legal reforms from the international stage to local communities, making it increasingly difficult for traffickers to operate. Free the Slaves conducts in-depth research to guide the movement against modern slavery, integrating survivor experiences and academic methodologies to continually refine and update their anti-slavery initiatives. They champion unified anti-slavery efforts through their Freedom from Slavery Forum, which bolsters collaboration, and their survivor networks, which amplify the voices of people with lived experiences. By influencing policymakers and advocating for change, Free the Slaves aims to enact systemic changes and robust enforcement to end modern slavery and create resilience against exploitation.Generated from the website
