Breaking the cycle of women and girls’ exploitation

More than 30 million women and girls worldwide live in slavery today.

Women and girls are disproportionately affected by modern slavery. It’s not by chance. Gender inequalities deny them their rights, limit their choices and opportunities, and expose them to risk. And where modern slavery exists, it reinforces the deep-rooted systems and structures supporting gender inequality. This is the vicious cycle of women and girls’ exploitation.

Understanding and addressing systems of discrimination and disempowerment is critical to ending slavery around the world.

Join us to hear expert voices in the anti-slavery movement discuss this complex interlinkage and explore what interventions and strategies can break this cycle.
