Rule of Law – ending impunity and delivering justice for all forms of trafficking through effective laws and policies, criminal proceedings, and civil remedies
Business Engagement – eliminating forced labor from supply chains and investing in marketbased solutions
Sustaining Freedom – ensuring recovery, reintegration, and economic opportunity for victims and the most vulnerable populations

Engaging government to facilitate ownership of anti-slavery strategies and create mechanisms for regional and global collaboration
Engaging the private sector to create market-based solutions, including targeted publicprivate partnerships that increase impact and sustainability of programs
Engaging civil society to ensure effective design and implementation of interventions to end modern slavery
Funding transformative programs and technologies within their three funding pillars (rule of law, business engagement, and sustaining freedom) to test, demonstrate, and scale highimpact approaches
Ensuring robust assessment of impact by deploying cost effective approaches to measure prevalence reduction, return on investment, and drivers of vulnerability
