As professionals and global citizens, we have a collective responsibility to address the root causes of modern slavery. This includes advocating for labor rights, social protection, fair recruitment, and stronger enforcement against forced labor and forced marriage.
Join us in supporting these critical policy priorities to create a world free from exploitation. Together, we can make a significant impact in the global fight against modern slavery by 2030. #SocialImpact#PolicyChangehttps://lnkd.in/gnvKBN8W
“You may choose to look the other way, but you can never say again that you did not know.” - William Wilberforce.
Following the efforts of 1807, slavery was finally abolished in 1833 and made illegal by the Human Rights Act of 1998.
However, despite these advancements, modern slavery persists. In 2021, an estimated 50 million people were living in situations of modern slavery according to the Global estimate for modern slavery. Approximately 27.6 million of those people were in forced labour and 22 million in forced marriages.
What action can you take can we collectively take to prevent this?
✅ Report such acts to authorities or relevant organizations.
✅ Do not engage the services of underage children or individuals in exploitative conditions.
✅ Ensure fair compensation for workers based on their labor worth.
✅ Stay informed about the signs and forms of modern slavery.
