The report Gender inequality and modern slavery: How to break the cycle of women and girls’ exploitation addresses the intersection of gender inequality and modern slavery, highlighting how systemic discrimination increases the vulnerability of women and girls to exploitation, trafficking, and abuse. The Freedom Fund has identified as the main issues the lack of access to decent work, unsafe migration, exposure to violence, and limited educational opportunities. These factors create an environment where women and girls are at heightened risk of modern slavery, requiring targeted interventions to address these underlying causes.
The report recommends a comprehensive, multi-layered approach incorporating gender-specific strategies to combat these challenges. This includes raising awareness tailored to specific communities, promoting women’s leadership, and leveraging the power of collective groups to challenge gender stereotypes. Additionally, advocating for systemic change is essential to dismantle the structures that perpetuate gender inequality and modern slavery. Finally, the report emphasises the utmost importance of building protections for women and girls, mobilizing communities, and implementing effective policies to create lasting change and end the cycle of exploitation.
