Organization Description:

Freedom Fund is an international collaborative fund dedicated to supporting frontline efforts to end modern slavery by mobilizing funding, partnering with local organizations, and building coordinated hotspot programs. Freedom Fund supports grassroots NGOs, lawyers, and worker groups with flexible funding, technical assistance, and research. Its strategy combines community organising, strategic litigation, and policy advocacy to address bonded labour, child labour, and sex trafficking in specific sectors and geographies.

Role in Indian Shrimp Aquaculture: Freedom Fund has supported anti-slavery and labor-rights work in Indian fisheries and seafood supply chains, with attention to the conditions of migrant women peeling-shed workers and bonded labor risks in coastal states. Through its hotspot model and partnerships with Indian NGOs and unions, it funds grassroots monitoring, paralegal networks, and survivor support.
