The 8th annual Freedom from Slavery Forum is happening in a unique and exceptional environment. Countries have taken measures to contain the COVID-19 global pandemic, but modern-day slavery including sexual slavery, forced labor and human trafficking has grown worse as proven by several research findings and everyday facts. Civil society organizations are at the front of the fight, but are experiencing increased demand for services while facing a decrease in funding, driving an urgent need for innovation in advocacy and other programmatic design and delivery.

It is in this climate of adaptation that the 8th annual Forum is adapting to the realities imposed by the global pandemic. This year’s virtual forum will be an opportunity to increase participation, interaction, networking, learning and sharing. This year’s virtual sessions are open to everyone in the anti-slavery movement.
