Tomorrow, our CEO, Mustafa Qadri will speak at the 2024 Asia Regional Freedom from Slavery Forum around the theme “Empower, Expose, Eradicate: Uniting Against Modern Slavery and Exploitation in Asia,” addressing the complex issue of modern slavery, including human trafficking, forced labor, and other forms of exploitation.
The forum is focused on three pillars: Empower, Expose, and Eradicate. The Empower pillar emphasizes equipping individuals and communities with the knowledge, tools, and resources necessary to resist and overcome exploitation. The Expose pillar involves shedding light on modern slavery by conducting thorough research, utilizing media to highlight personal stories, advocating for transparency in supply chains, and pressuring governments for accountability. The Eradicate pillar aims to eliminate all forms of modern slavery through strengthening legislation, promoting international collaboration, engaging local communities, and focusing on long-term rehabilitation for survivors.
Mustafa will be providing an analysis of current trends and data related to modern slavery in Asia, discussing recent findings, patterns, and implications for policy and intervention. By participating in multi-stakeholder engagement, policy advocacy, resource mobilization, and the establishment of monitoring and evaluation mechanisms, we aim to address immediate challenges and build a foundation for sustained and systemic change in the fight against modern slavery and exploitation in Asia.
