The annual #MyFreedomDay campaign is a way to raise global awareness about human trafficking and slavery. It invites young people, schools, individuals, and organisations around the world to participate in activities to celebrate freedom and speak up and act out for those who are unable to and show their support on behalf of the 10 million boys and girls trapped in modern day slavery.
Generation Global is participating in the campaign by offering opportunities for dialogue in video conferences on human trafficking and slavery with young people across the world.
