Galvanizing Cooperation Among Democracies to End Forced Labor

Eliminating forced labor in global supply chains

The right to fundamental freedoms, justice and dignity is at the very core of democracy. The perpetuation of slavery, through forced labor, child labor, human trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation, of nearly 25 million people is an affront to democratic values. Join the McCain Institute, the Global Fund to End Modern Slavery and Humanity United for a 90-minute conversation with civil society and government leaders from democracies taking steps to eliminate forced labor from their countries and global supply chains.

The Summit for Democracy presents a critical opportunity to expand commitments among democratic nations to address forced labor, and to demonstrate both adherence to core values and effective action to protect and enforce those norms. It is time to translate positive language and non-binding commitments into real action.
