The Guardian and Humanity United, a US-based foundation dedicated to building peace and advancing human freedom, have today launched a collaboration to draw attention to modern-day slavery...[T]he Guardian will investigate and highlight the impact of modern-day slavery with new sections on both of its global development platforms...The new sections will focus on key debates, ranging from the face of modern-day slavery, to the role of markets in sustaining the practice, to the failure of states and justice systems in both the developing and developed worlds to tackle the issue effectively...Jo Confino, executive editor of the Guardian, said: "...our intention is to create a global forum that investigates both the root causes and potential solutions to modern slavery, elevates global public dialogue, builds alliances on the front lines, and spurs the public, policy-makers and corporate leaders into action."
