Recognising the wide range of actors dedicated to ending the scourge of modern slavery and human trafficking, the Thomson Reuters Foundation today unveiled the 28 candidates shortlisted for its annual Stop Slavery Award – after receiving a record number of applications.
Launched in 2015, the Award celebrates the businesses who have set a gold standard in efforts to eradicate forced labour from their supply chains. Last year marked the launch of six additional categories, acknowledging journalists, cutting-edge innovators, impactful collaborations between sectors, public awareness campaigns and the vital contribution of NGOs and grassroots organisations in the fight against modern slavery - a multi-billion dollar industry affecting an estimated 40 million people worldwide.
