Walk Free is an international human rights group working to accelerate the end of all forms of modern slavery. We combine world-class research with engagement with political, business, religious and community leaders and direct implementation through our civil society partners to drive systems change and dismantle the drivers of modern slavery. We have three core programs: mainstream modern slavery, make slavery uninvestable, and unstack the odds for women and girls. Walk Free publishes the Global Slavery Index, the world’s leading data set on modern slavery. We measure prevalence, vulnerability and how governments around the world respond to modern slavery. Our team is made up of statisticians, criminologists, lawyers, and international development experts, working to create and agitate for mass systems change, to address the root causes of slavery.
