Rights Lab Programmes

Our large team is answering six main questions:

1. How many people are enslaved in the world and where are they?
2. Why does slavery persist and what creates resilience against modern slavery?
3. What is safe and effective support for survivors of modern slavery?
4. How can we close the implementation gap, between principle and practice?
5. What are the impacts of slavery on our economies and how can businesses tackle slavery?
6. What works to end slavery and what is the Freedom Dividend for our world when slavery ends?

Each question forms a Rights Lab programme, on Measurement and Geographies; Communities and Society; Health and Wellbeing; Law and Policy; and Business and Economies, supported by our team leads for stakeholder engagement and impact who focus on question six.
