Saudi Arabia to end kafala (migrant labor sponsorship) scheme

From Ellie Finkelstein, Freedom United 

Forward this blog to friends to keep them updated about new developments in the movement against modern slavery. If you’re not already receiving our news digest on a weekly basis, click here to subscribe.

Modern slavery thrives on silence and inaction. Your involvement can make a significant difference in people’s freedom as part of a community advocating for the end of these systems of exploitation. So, take the Freedom Footprint evaluation to see the impact you’re already making, and what actions you can take to expand it.

Can you make a regular monthly donation to support this digest? We wouldn't ask if we didn't need your help but we are heading for a shortfall this year as a major funder closed operations. By giving just $5 a month, you are sustaining our independent work to confront modern slavery, tackle its root causes, and demand justice. It only takes a minute to set up a monthly donation—but together, our impact lasts far longer.
