Partner spotlight: Freedom United
UNA-NYC has long maintained a special commitment to Sustainable Development Goal 8.7: to “eradicate forced labor, end modern slavery and human trafficking and secure the prohibition and elimination of the worst forms of child labor.”
We’ve been proud to take our fight against modern slavery further through our partnership with Freedom United, the world’s largest anti-slavery community. Freedom United has been pushing for the wider ratification of the Forced Labour Protocol (P29) of the International Labour Organization (ILO)—the current gold standard in international anti-slavery legislation and an essential step in the path toward achieving SDG 8.7.
