FREE THE SLAVES
“Free the Slaves” is an international non- governmental organization and lobby group that was formed in 2001 to campaign against the modern practice of slavery around the world.
It is the largest anti-slavery organization in the U.S. and the sister-organization of Anti-Slavery International, the world's oldest human rights organization.
The organization was created as a result of research done by Dr. Kevin Bales in his book, Disposable People: New Slavery in the Global Economy.
FREE THE SLAVES
MISSION
This organization is well informed that slavery flourishes when people cannot meet their basic needs. Slavery is rampant where poor people lack economic opportunities, education, healthcare and an honest government. This organization rests on the following principles:
Free slaves around the world by working with grassroots organizations where slavery flourishes.
Record and share their stories so people in power can see slavery and be inspired to work for freedom.
Enlist businesses to clean slavery out of their product chains and empower consumers to stop buying into slavery.
Work with governments to produce effective anti-slavery laws then hold them to their commitments.
Research what works and what doesn't so that we use resources strategically and effectively to end slavery. Forever.
