[Gilbert F. Houngbo @GilbertFHoungbo]

It is unacceptable that 50 million people worldwide are in modern #slavery.

It's a fundamental abuse of human rights and an afront to human dignity, safety, health and social justice.

There are no ifs, buts, or maybes, the global community must come together to #EndSlavery.

[IOM Asia-Pacific @IOMAsiaPacific]

#Migrants play a crucial role in the development of the countries in #Asia & the #Pacific. How then, can they also contribute to fostering progress of the #SDGs in the region?

⚠️ Today is Abolition of #Slavery Day!

🔻 50 Million people were living in modern #slavery in 2021. Clearly there are more people in slavery today than at any other time in history.

🔺 Step up, get involved and #EndSlavery NOW!

We must mobilize more agilely to respond to large-scale crises and provide protection at all stages of the migration journey, understanding the speed with which a national crisis can turn into a regional one.
