About modern slavery
Modern slavery is the systematic deprivation of a person's liberty,
and abuse of his or her body, for example through mutilation or
organ removal, for the purposes of personal or commercial
exploitation. According to the 2014 Global Slavery Index released by
GFN's member partner Walk Free Foundation, almost 36 million people
are currently trapped in modern slavery. These are people who have
lost their freedom and are being exploited for personal or
commercial gain. According to the International Labour Organization
the total profits obtained from the use of forced labour in the
private economy worldwide amount to US$150 billion per year.
The Global Freedom Network
The Global Freedom Network is a faith-based global network with a
vision and purpose to eradicate modern slavery and human trafficking
throughout our world and for all time. It was launched on 17 March
2014 at the Vatican. The Memorandum of Agreement and Joint Statement
establishing the Global Freedom Network had signatories from the
Casina Pio IV, Lambeth Palace, Al Azhar Mosque and Walk Free
Foundation.
The Global Freedom Network has outlined six fields of action for
achieving its vision. These include mobilising faith based
communities, supply chain proofing to promote ethical purchasing
arrangements, improving the care for victims and survivors,
advocating for law reforms and enforcement, facilitating and
promoting education and awareness, and securing sizeable funds in
order to carry out its task.
