Anti-Slavery International, Thomas Clarkson House, The Stableyard, Broomgrove Road, London SW9 9TL

Anti-Slavery International is the world's oldest human rights organisation, with roots in the eighteenth century campaigns to abolish slavery, and against the successor "apprenticeship" system. Following advances within the British Empire, the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society was formed in 1839, with the goal of abolishing world slavery. Interest in indigenous rights led to the 1909 merger with the Aborigines Protection Society. It currently campaigns on child and forced labour, human trafficking, and "chattel" slavery. The current name was adopted in 1995. Source: www.antislavery.org
