The Global Slavery Index is published to increase awareness of the problem of modern slavery and the Walk Free Foundation, which founded the Freedom Fund, is active in helping many thousands of people caught up in modern slavery achieve their freedom.

Mr. Andrew Forrest is an Australian billionaire and mining mogul who has pledged to give out half his fortune to charity.

Former President Jonathan met with Mr. Forrest and his daughter, Grace, in New Jersey where he also endorsed their work in a video message.

Dr. Goodluck Jonathan is chairman of the Goodluck Jonathan foundation which is committed to spreading democracy and freedom throughout Africa.
