Walk Free’s Global Slavery Index is the world’s most comprehensive data set of
modern slavery.

We use this data to mobilise powerful forces for change against these abuses of
human rights.

We work with governments, businesses, religious and community leaders to drive
systems change. We partner directly with frontline organisations to liberate
people trapped in slavery around the world.

We independently and unashamedly agitate for change.

WE PIONEER RESEARCH THAT REINFORCES THE NEED FOR CHANGE ACROSS THE WORLD.


TACKLING ONE OF THE WORLD’S LARGEST AND MOST COMPLEX HUMAN RIGHTS ISSUES
REQUIRES SERIOUS STRATEGIC THINKING.

We approach this challenge by integrating world class research with direct
engagement with some of the world’s most influential government, business and
religious leaders. We invest our time and resources in a collaborative manner to
drive behaviour and legislative change to impact the lives of the estimated 49.6
million people living in modern slavery today.

What we’re doing

EVERY HUMAN DESERVES THE OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE A LIFE THAT IS SAFE, OFFERS FREEDOM
AND OPPORTUNITY.

How we work


AT WALK FREE, WE FIGHT FOR THE SILENCED.

It is unthinkable that one human should ever be allowed to deny another human of
these basic rights through fear, exploitation, deceit, or physical or emotional
restraint.

At Walk Free, we fight for the silenced to regain their voices. There are some
who say the problem is too hard, that there are more pressing issues, or that
this is a challenge for governments to solve. We believe nothing is more
important than human life. We can, and must, do everything in our power to end
modern slavery.

AND GIRLS


MODERN SLAVERY IS A GENDERED ISSUE

Although modern slavery affects everyone, there is no escaping the fact that it
is a gendered issue. Females account for 68 per cent of all victims of forced
marriage and 43 per cent of all victims of forced labour. Nearly 4 out of every
5 of those trapped in forced commercial sexual exploitation are girls and women.
