According to the WalkFree Global Slavery Index report (2023), Ghana's prevalence of modern slavery is 2.9 per 1000 people. This translates to 91,000 people. Factors such as poverty and gender discrimination intersect to make women especially vulnerable to modern slavery.

It is an open truth that slavery is as prevalent now as it was in the past decades, manifesting itself in forms of debt bondages, sexual exploitation, Child Labour, Forced labour and human trafficking.

Funded by the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (Norad), Action Aid embarked on a three-year project dubbed ‘Combatting Modern Slavery in Ethiopia and Ghana. The project aimed at decreasing the scale and prevalence of modern slavery in the #agricultural, industrial, and #service sectors, while raising awareness of modern slavery with a focus on Child labour, #humantrafficking, and #forcedlabour.

Over the three years, the project has achieved a lot of success; notable ones include rescuing child survivors of human trafficking along the Volta Lake.
