Rights Lab

'Slavery From Space' is brought to you by the Rights Lab, a University of Nottingham Beacon of Excellence, focused on ending modern slavery. Our large-scale, transdisciplinary research approach means we can map slavery from space with the world’s first Geospatial Slavery Observatory; redesign supply chains to help businesses ensure they aren’t using slave labour; and pioneer a unique programme of therapeutic care for people liberated from enslavement; among many other projects. Led by Professor Zoe Trodd (Director), Professor Todd Landman (Executive Director) and Professor Kevin Bales (Research Director), details of our transdisciplinary research team can be found here.

Find out how you can get involved in our effort to end modern slavery here, including links to follow our blog posts and Twitter account.
