Impact
Being transparent about the impact of our work is integral to the Freedom Fund’s mission. We measure what works, we learn from our results, and we share our knowledge. We publish updated data on every six months.
Impact report
Since our founding nine years ago, Freedom Fund partners have directly helped over 1.5 million people living in slavery or at high risk of exploitation. Millions more have been impacted by our efforts to shift government policy, corporate behaviour and social norms.
Today there is much greater awareness of modern slavery resulting in more research, investigations and legislation. We are beginning to see real progress in efforts to ensure companies eliminate forced labour from their supply chains.

Research approach
Our approach to data collection and evidence sharing is deeply guided by the priorities of frontline organisations and grassroots leaders. We partner with leading researchers and anti-slavery experts to examine and evaluate our work, while making sure that results remain relevant, timely and useful for local communities who are best positioned to translate evidence into action. These collaborations allow us to learn quickly, tailor our work effectively, and help direct resources to where they can make the biggest difference.
