Freeing Slaves Ending SlaveryMISSION & HISTORY: Free the Slaves liberates slaves around the world and changes the conditions that allow slavery to persist. Founded in 2000, we are widely regarded as pioneers and leaders in the modern abolitionist movement. Our history is one of groundbreaking research, advocacy to change government policies and business practices, compelling documentary films to spread awareness that slavery still exists, and innovative front-line field programs that free slaves and demonstrate the feasibility of eradicating slavery.

WHERE WE WORK: Free the Slaves operates field programs in some of the world’s worst trafficking hot spots. More than 75 percent of our funds goes directly to programs. We rigorously and systematically assess our work to ensure accountability and to continuously improve our programs.

STRATEGY: Slavery is the result of vulnerability: the poor, the uneducated and the marginalized are exploited and coerced to work without pay. Under threat of violence, they cannot walk away. Our strategy is to reduce people’s vulnerability.
