The Freedom Blueprint: How We End Contemporary Slavery

About the event

There are 46 million people enslaved around the world today, including up to 13,000 in the UK. Britain is a world-leader in fighting slavery, with the Modern Slavery Act, Anti-Slavery Commissioner, and new government task force. But to achieve the Sustainable Development Goal of ending slavery by 2030, we need a platform of cutting-edge antislavery methods and strategies.

Join some of the world’s leading experts on contemporary slavery to debate a Freedom Blueprint, the world’s first large-scale research agenda for ending slavery.

Speakers:

• Professor Kevin Bales (Contemporary Slavery, The University of Nottingham)
• Jess Phillips MP (Vice Chair for the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Human Trafficking and Modern Slavery)
• Professor Todd Landman (Pro-Vice Chancellor for Social Sciences, The University of Nottingham)
• Professor Zoe Trodd (Co-director of the Rights and Justice research priority area, The University of Nottingham)
