Goals / Remit
Founded in 1839 we are the world's oldest international human rights organisation. We work at local, national and international levels to eliminate all forms of slavery around the world. We’ve built the expertise, partnerships and knowledge needed to help prevent slavery in its many forms. We prioritise ending child and youth slavery, responsible business, migration and trafficking, and slavery and the environment. Here’s how we work:
1. System change. Focus on achieving long-term changes.
2. We work directly with survivors and survivor-led organisations, and make sure they and their views are at the heart of our work.
3. We use our expertise, campaigning experience, partnerships and knowledge to help building a movement.
4. Framing the issue. Through our research, our work with the media and our campaigns, we make sure modern slavery remains part of the public and political agenda
5. Legal frameworks. International human rights instruments have a huge role to play.Main EU files targeted

Communication activities
Our work on responsible business related to EU policies falls into four key areas:
1. Legal protection. We campaign for the implementation of national and international laws that will hold businesses to account for failing to prevent forced labour and other human rights and environmental abuses in their supply chains. Decades of voluntary ‘corporate social responsibility’ strategies have failed to protect many millions of people from exploitation; and existing laws are not strong enough to protect workers. We need new legal frameworks that compel businesses to stop exploitation at every stage of their supply chains and allow survivors of modern slavery – or those at risk – to access justice. We work globally with organisations, trade unions and policy-makers to put modern slavery in supply chains at the top of the political agenda.
2. Working with businesses. Some businesses do recognise the need to prevent forced labour, and we help them to work towards this common goal. Through our business advisory services, we work as a ‘critical friend’ to companies, helping them identify the risk of modern slavery in their supply chains and to take serious action to prevent it
3. Partnerships to support workers. Workers must be able to know about – and exercise – their basic labour rights, such as fair pay and fair contracts, in order for modern slavery to be prevented. We make sure workers are closely involved in the efforts taken to end modern slavery, along with the work of trade unions and businesses
4. Tackling state-imposed forced labour. Some governments subject their citizens to forced labour and other abuses. As a result, many products – including textiles, solar panels and many everyday goods sold on the high street – can be tainted by state-imposed forced labour. Since the late 2000s, we have worked with our partners in the Cotton Campaign to end state-imposed forced labour in cotton production in Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan, and since 2020 as part of the Coalition to End Forced Labour in the Uyghur Region we’ve been striving to end to the Chinese government’s persecution of Uyghurs and other Turkic and Muslim groups in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.
We focus on calling for the EU to introduce stronger laws and policy that will ensure corporations respect human rights and the environment.
We work by:
1. Advocating with our allies in the EU directly to the European Parliament, European Commission and European Council
2. Supporting our civil society partners from around the world to be involved in the debate. We believe that the EU must directly consult with workers, trade unions and civil society where forced labour is the most prevalent
3. Engaging with supportive businesses to support our campaigns
Our advocacy focuses on calling for the EU to:
1. Introduce mandatory human rights and environmental due diligence that would hold companies accountable for human rights abuses, including forced labour, and environmental harm in their value chains, and make sure victims can access remedy and justice
2. Introduce import controls to block or seize products made with forced labour, including child slavery
2. Strengthen trade and development policy to address the root causes of forced labour – such as poverty, lack of legal protection, worker representation and discrimination
