77% of business leaders expect to find modern slavery in their operations and supply chains!

Human trafficking is not just about the sex trade; it is very much about exploitation in the supply chains of large, reputable companies.

Hope for Justice’s Slave-Free Alliance is one way they are equipping businesses to irradiate human trafficking from our society. As more and more companies adopt a modern slavery policy, the harder it is becoming for criminals to exploit victims but there’s still a lot more work to do!

Modern Slavery generates £121bn of illicit profits per year.

The Purpose

These profits are generated from prostitution, sexual exploitation, forced labour or services, slavery, servitude, removal of organs.
