Anti-slavery activism

Anti-slavery activism refers to the efforts aimed at ending slavery and promoting freedom for all individuals. Historically, it gained momentum in the 18th and 19th centuries, primarily through abolitionist movements that sought to end the transatlantic slave trade and enslaved labor. Activists, including figures like Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman, raised awareness, organized protests, and lobbied governments. Today, anti-slavery activism also addresses modern slavery, including human trafficking and exploitation, advocating for policies and initiatives that protect vulnerable populations and promote human rights globally. The goal is to create a society where freedom and dignity are recognized for everyone.
