The Anti-Slavery Collective in conversation with Kieran Guilbert | Thomson Reuters Foundation

While we stay at home and #wfh, our co-founders, HRH Princess Eugenie of York and Julia de Boinville, have been talking to people from across the anti-slavery movement to find out how COVID-19 has affected their work. Our guest today is Kieran Guilbert, the Slavery and Trafficking Editor of the Thomson Reuters Foundation.

We speak to Kieran about how he and his global team of journalists have reacted and adapted to COVID-19. Modern slavery is, in general, a very under-reported issue. At The Anti-Slavery Collective, we are so dependent on and grateful for the reporting of Kieran and his team. They seek to raise awareness and inform society about modern slavery by giving a voice to the voiceless, producing nuanced and holistic reporting, and highlighting stories that can have a real impact. As the pandemic exacerbates exploitation already endured by victims and increases the vulnerability to exploitation of millions, their reporting has been invaluable.

After our discussion with Kieran, we are hopeful. Kieran, his team and many others have shone a spotlight on the grievous inequalities and cracks in our societies that have been exposed by COVID-19; this increase awareness could and should drive change to a more ethical and more sustainable post-pandemic world.
