Through our six compelling and informative documentaries, alongside 10 short films, WHY SLAVERY? uncovers the stories of men, women and children living as slaves in all corners of the world. Whether it is the deeply flawed Kafala System, which binds migrant workers to their employers in the Middle East, or the prolific number of children being bought and sold in India, WHY SLAVERY? sheds a light on the stories of people living in the shadows of enslavement.
The aim of the WHY SLAVERY? campaign can be succinctly captured by the words of 18th Century Slave Abolitionist William Wilberforce: “You may choose to look the other way but you can never say again that you did not know.”
WHY SLAVERY? ensures that everywhere, modern slavery is not only known, but is brought to the fore of global political conversation.
