The goal was to shine a light on real cases and real stories of modern-day slavery: a pin on a map, even in your backyard, that could not be denied. Today, nearly everyone knows about human trafficking, in part because of the contribution SlaveryMap made.
Because people like you kept believing in this work, it returns with new categories we never tracked before, including one most people have never connected: ecocide-linked slavery, where destroying the land and enslaving the people are the same crime.
