The Journal of Modern Slavery and its mother organization, SlaveFree Today, are launching a new blog platform. The blog will feature a multitude of perspectives on current and emerging actions and ideas from around the world to tackle and eliminate modern slavery and related exploitative practices in accordance with SDG 8.7.
In the long term, the blog will be a platform that invites new and young voices to participate in the conversation.
However, short term, the blog will be a platform that takes a deeper look at the impact of COVID-19 and its repercussion on modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour (SDG 8.7).
We are seeking voices from all parts of the world and from all sectors, from practitioners, front-liners and service providers, survivors, academics, students, policymakers, journalists, and social entrepreneurs. And we are looking for different angles including health, migration, economics, employment, poverty, gender, livelihood, access to justice, youth, policy, conflict, social unrest, innovation and other areas linked to the intersection of this pandemic with modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour and child labour (SDG 8.7).
We are accepting submissions on a rolling basis.
