The Index is the flagship report produced by the Walk Free Foundation, a global human rights organisation dedicated to ending modern slavery. The methodology for the Index was developed by an internal research team and through external consultations with an international and independent Expert Advisory Group. This is the second edition of the Global Slavery Index. The Index estimates the number of people in modern slavery in 167 countries. It provides an analysis of the prevalence of modern slavery in terms of the percentage of a national population and the total number of people living in modern slavery – country by country, region by region. For the first time, the Index includes an analysis of what governments are doing to eradicate modern slavery.It also looks at the contextual factors that make people vulnerable to modern slavery. For 2014, the ten countries with the highest estimated prevalence of modern slavery by population are: Mauritania, Uzbekistan, Haiti, Qatar, India, Pakistan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Sudan, Syria and the Central African Republic. All in all, the Index includes an analysis of 167 government responses based on five objectives that every single country should seek to accomplish in order to eradicate modern slavery: ? Survivors are identified, supported to exit and remain out of modern slavery. ? Criminal justice mechanisms address modern slavery. ? Coordination and accountability mechanisms for the central government are in place. ? Attitudes, social systems and institutions that enable modern slavery are addressed. ? Businesses and governments through their public procurement stop sourcing goods and services that use modern slavery.
