Why is it important?
Changes in social change or impact from social interventions against modern slavery or labor trafficking must be measured to gauge their effectiveness. A baseline built on rigorous measurement should be established early on and periodically to accomplish this purpose.
Perspectives
The global campaign against modern slavery needs to account for its accomplishments or lack therefore. Billions of dollars have been invested in this movement with few impact evaluations and successful models. The first step to account for or hold program administrators accountable for all the anti-trafficking or anti-modern slavery investments is to establish a baseline. This study contributes to this effort to gauge, to measure, and to hold all parties (governments and NGOs) accountable for what they claim to be accomplishing.
