The Freedom Fund is the world’s first private donor fund dedicated to identifying and investing in the most effective front-line efforts to end slavery.〔〔 In 2014, the Global Slavery Index reported that there were nearly 36 million slaves worldwide across a wide range of industries.〔〔 The Freedom Fund was founded in September 2013, by three leading anti-slavery donors, Humanity United,〔 the Legatum Foundation and the Walk Free Foundation〔 and officially announced by President Bill Clinton at the Clinton Global Initiative on September 26, 2013 where he declared "this is a huge deal and we should all support this."〔〔 ==Freedom Fund’s Mission and Values== The Freedom Fund has set a target of raising USD $100million by 2020 and investing it to reduce modern slavery in the countries and sectors where it is most needed.〔http://antitraffickingreview.org/index.php/atrjournal/article/view/68/66〕 To achieve this, The Freedom Fund has focused its activities on three main areas: :Hotspot projects – identify the most effective local community organisations, and invest in them to improve their effectiveness, and impact in fighting slavery.〔 The Freedom Fund's Northern India hotspot has been in place since 2014, and in twelve months has rescued over 2,000 people from modern slavery.〔 Freedom Fund hotspots are located in Northern India, Ethiopia, Thailand, Brazil and Nepal.〔http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sponsored/lifestyle/modern-slavery-britain/11109547/suburbia-domestic-slaves.html〕 :Sector initiatives - coordinate actors and resources around industries where slavery is especially prevalent or cross-border challenges. This allows the Freedom Fund to tackle systemic issues like slavery in fishing, migration, or to help develop new technological tools or legal initiatives. In March 2015, the Freedom Fund and C&A Foundation announced a partnership to tackle forced labour in the textile industry. :Community building - The Freedom Fund aims to strengthen the global community of activists, experts, and donors by providing the platform, knowledge, and tools for them to connect and work together more effectively over a sustained period.〔〔http://antitraffickingreview.org/index.php/atrjournal/article/view/69/67〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Freedom Fund」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
