Our Vision Statement
The International Coalition Against Modern Slavery is a hub for education, advocacy, and anti-trafficking projects; organizing with those across sectors, movements, and around the world with diverse campaigns to take action against rising rates of forced labor and human trafficking.
International Coalition Against Modern Slavery
We reject the top-down colonial ‘saviorist’ structure of many NGOs, instead opting to work in collaboration with local movements. We are building a network to support our communities, educate, and advocate through partnerships with other organizations, individuals, youth leaders, and survivor leaders.
At the coalition, we recognize how modern slavery functions as a manifestation of gender inequality, the climate crisis, unchecked capitalism and corporate hegemony, imperialism, and all other forms of marginalization and disenfranchisement.
Solidarity grounds our efforts as we organize alongside community-based networks – as part of the labor rights movement, women’s rights movement, climate change movement, survivor's rights movement, queer liberation movement, migrant justice movement, disability movement, and more – to address the root causes of exploitation and fight corporate-driven human rights violations.
We support international human rights (Universal Declaration of Human Rights) and UNCRC (United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child). We reject the criminalization of survivors and migrants, whose exploitation is often facilitated through politics that leave them intentionally marginalized.
Instead, we support a liberation-centered approach: combating the structural and institutional systems of violence that enable exploitation, while holding their corporate beneficiaries accountable
The International Coalition Against Modern Slavery was founded in 2021, following the International Week of Action Against Modern Slavery. The Coalition started as a grassroots network against forced labor and human trafficking. Over the years, it has grown to include youth leaders, members, and partner organizations across 38 countries.
The Coalition shares resources for learning more about modern slavery and ways individuals can take action.
