How can we finally bring an end to the travesty of modern-day slavery? Contrary to widespread understanding, slavery continues to this day and there are currently more people living in conditions of slavery than at any time in history. Globally, the number of people living in slavery exceeds that of the entire population of Canada. Even in the UK, it is estimated that more than 100,000 people are affected today.

Slavery is big business, and is responsible for criminal earnings that exceed the revenue of the video-gaming industry worldwide.

So how can we finally put an end to this scourge of humanity? What role can business play in eliminating slavery from today’s economy? And how can we make freedom everyone’s business?

Join Ruth Dearnley, CEO of Stop the Traffik, Louise Hulland, BBC investigative journalist and author of Stolen Lives, Rosana Elias, Head of Sustainability at Whitbread, and host Caroline Taylor, OBE, to discuss what we can all do to stand for freedom.
