Freedom is a fundamental right, everywhere, always. Everyone should be able to make choices about their lives and how they live them. This is what drives us every day in its work to make sure everyone can enjoy their freedom.
People end up trapped in modern slavery because they are vulnerable to being tricked, trapped and exploited, often as a result of poverty and exclusion. Political, economic and social systems that disadvantage some groups in society push people into taking risky decisions in search of opportunities to provide for their families. At the same time people may not have access to the sort of help and support taken for granted – such as going to the police for help.
Anti-Slavery International looks at those systems, those root causes, and do everything they can to try and re-balance them to provide people at-risk from slavery with an opportunity to build sustainable futures.
The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
