The exploitation of people through modern slavery is generating higher profits than ever before. Profits from forced labor have risen by 37% over the last decade. Child labor is on the rise globally, including in developed economies. Global crises, conflicts, and the climate emergency are escalating human trafficking risks.
At the same time, efforts to eradicate these crimes are ramping up. From modern slavery-related regulations, to voluntary industry action, technology and data are critical for effective implementation of these interventions.
Join us at the third global Tech Against Trafficking Summit to discuss some of the most urgent issues at the nexus of human trafficking and technology.
