The crimes of human trafficking, slavery, forced marriages, the exploitation of children and debt bondage are all occurring today, this hour, this minute. “Modern slavery” is a process of enslaving people, coercing them into a situation with no way out, and exploiting them. It’s an industry worth more than $150 billion and is the second largest criminal enterprise in the world. Sydney based advocate of anti-human trafficking, Freedom for Humanity is leading the fight. Founded 5 years ago by a group of dedicated volunteers, their purpose is to raise funds to fight modern slavery both in Australia and overseas. The organisation aims to help rescue more victims and implement prevention strategies to create change for the better and have organised a global online summit, ‘End Human Trafficking’ next May to bring awareness amongst our western community to eliminate the horror of modern slavery.

Some Of The Horrifying Statistics:

• 50 million people are victims of modern slavery
• 71% are woman
• 9 million people were in forced labour
• 8 million people in forced sexual exploitation
• 1 out of 4 victims are children

Key Purpose:

1. To educate and influence consumers; professionals in CSR, legal and HR positions; politicians; and other influential people in Western countries, i.e. the USA, to take a stand against Modern Slavery.
2. To be a self-funding event with all profits going to support rescuing victims and providing study grants for survivors of modern slavery in USA and Australia.

The event will include speeches from a range of experts with different perspectives on human trafficking, a live auction, swag bag, fundraising and more!
Don’t miss out on this important opportunity to be part of the discussion. It’s in our hands to free the world of modern slavery. Will you join us? Let’s end human trafficking!
