Slavery is illegal everywhere, yet it occurs nearly everywhere

There are 27 million slaves in the world today – that’s more than double the number of people taken from Africa during the entire transatlantic slave trade. Lisa Kristine, a U.S.-based photographer, has documented modern-day slavery in more than 100 countries on six continents for the last 28 years. Listen to Lisa as she tells us more about slavery today.

As a humanitarian photographer, my craft is devoted to honoring the innate dignity inherent in every individual. My work spans more than 150 countries and serves as a catalyst for social change via exposure and financial support. Along with my photography, I champion the causes I document and have been invited to deliver keynote speeches at the UN, Parliament, The Vatican, Davos & TED stages. Please contact me if you would like to acquire one of my pieces or to speak at your event.
