The Freedom Fund

The Freedom Fund is a global fund with the sole aim of helping end modern slavery.

[UN Human Rights @UNHumanRights]

Today, @UNHumanRights & @Freedom_Fund brought together leaders from across sectors to advance urgent, rights-based strategies to end contemporary forms of slavery. Survivor leadership, accountability & systemic change must guide our collective response.

[Human Rights at FCDO @FCDOHumanRights]

Yesterday, at an @FCDOGovUK event to mark #HumanRightsDay, @DavidLammy & @theresa_may viewed an exhibition by @Freedom_Fund of artwork illustrating what freedom means to survivors of modern slavery.

The 🇬🇧 is committed to ending modern slavery & supporting survivors.

[Nick Grono @NickGrono]

I was honoured to brief UK Foreign Secretary @DavidLammy and former Prime Minister @theresa_may at a Foreign Office reception for Human Rights Day. The @Freedom_Fund Freedom of Expression exhibit, with art by young people in Brazil and Bangladesh, was on display for the occasion.

Without legal identity, people struggle to access basic services and are often driven into informal, dangerous & exploitative work.

Research into certifications is important, as brands, retailers and consumers rely on them to ensure certain standards are adhered to. This new report is crucial in pointing out the big gaps between ecolabels and the protection of workers in the fishing industry. 👇

[Humanity United @HumanityUnited]

New research funded by Humanity United and the @Freedom_Fund, finds that the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), a well-known, consumer-friendly ecolabel stamp, does not effectively protect fishers from labor violations.

The exploitation of people working on fishing vessels is commonplace, and it should not be happening. We're working with global partners to protect the rights of workers who catch the seafood that we eat.
