United Against Slavery provides a collaborative research space to collect comprehensive data to address unresolved challenges affecting anti-trafficking stakeholders and allows anyone to use their voice to impact lasting change in the fight against sex and labor trafficking and domestic servitude. Some of the unresolved issues include lack of funding, outdated statistics, lack of best practices and standards, and division among leaders. It should be unacceptable for us to know that so much time and money has been spent to combat all forms of human trafficking, and there are still sex and labor trafficking survivors that do not have the much needed resources to help them thrive in their healing journeys. It is imperative that survivors are a part of every organization's growth strategies and leadership to ensure we have the highest level of expertise, from those with lived experience. We have over 30 sex and labor trafficking Survivor Leaders of all genders that serve in our Survivor Leaders Connect group as Advisors, Foundation Leaders, and contribute key ideas and creativity in our development and growth. Through collaborative teamwork with more than 50 subject matter experts in 22 countries, we provide a place for freedom, unity, and accountability to better serve all victims of human trafficking world-wide.
