Walk for Freedom - 25k challenge

18 October is Anti-Slavery Day and an enthusiastic (perhaps over ambitious), AoEC team are aiming to walk 25k in central London via some of the very many slavery landmarks. Our aim is to challenge ourselves whilst educating ourselves, raising awareness and to fundraise for Anti-Slavery International who are dedicated to takling modern slavery and campaign for freedom for all.

The AoEC has made a long-term multi-year commitment to being part of the international campaign to end modern slavery.

Why would an executive coaching company choose modern slavery as its focus? Executive coaching focusses on creating and supporting workplaces at their best. At the other extreme, slavery embodies working conditions at their very worst – when rights, freedom and human dignity are all denied. We look to what we can do to support the campaigning, advocacy and rescue work of anti-slavery experts around the world.

About Anti-Slavery International

Anti-Slavery International is the world’s oldest human rights organisation. We exist to ensure all people, everywhere are free from slavery. Since 1839, we have challenged slavery in all its forms and helped to make slavery illegal in every nation around the world. Today, we challenge modern forms of slavery wherever they exist by tackling the root causes of slavery and creating lasting freedom for all. Slavery will only be stopped when we dismantle the systems and structures that allow for people to be exploited and enslaved. That is why we work in partnership with survivors, businesses, grassroots organisations and funding partners to deliver projects worldwide that challenge the root causes of modern slavery. We do this by pushing for legal protections for people, making sure people know their rights and making the problem of, and solutions to, modern slavery much better understood by everyone.
