October 2007 Program
Ending Slavery
with Kevin Bales
Professor Emeritus Roehampton University

Lecture and discussion
Monday, October 22, 2007
7 to 9 p.m.

Experts estimate that twenty-seven million people currently live in slavery. This sobering figure includes individuals forced into what many consider to be forms of modern-day enslavement, including exploitation of migrant labor and human trafficking. Kevin Bales, president of Free the Slaves, the U.S. sister organization of Britain’s Anti-Slavery International, attributes significant increases in the number of people forced into slavery over the last five decades to changes in the global economy and political corruption. In his recent book Ending Slavery: How We Free Today’s Slaves, Bales explores the dynamics of this global problem and identifies ways that citizens and institutions can help put an end to this ancient injustice.

Kevin Bales is professor emeritus at Roehampton University in London and serves on the board of directors of the International Cocoa Initiative, an organization working to eliminate forced labor in the chocolate industry. He co-wrote a documentary based on his work, Slavery: A Global Investigation, for which he won the Peabody award in 2000 and two Emmy Awards in 2002. He is also the recipient of multiple human rights awards and author of several books. His new book, Ending Slavery: How We Free Today’s Slaves, will be available for purchase and signing at the program.
