Respect Website

The Babson College’s Initiative on Human Trafficking and Modern
Slavery, the Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime
and IOM have partnered to establish the RESPECT Initiative: the
Responsible and Ethical Private Sector Coalition against Trafficking.

RESPECT serves as a platform that brings together thought leaders, practitioners, and policy makers who have a clear understanding of what issues lie ahead to consider possible solutions to public and private sector challenges surrounding human trafficking. We believe that the private sector plays a crucial role in combating human trafficking. Therefore, through mobilizing the business community as a strategic partner we hope to put this illicit trade out of business.

To facilitate this RESPECT offers a number of services to businesses in the private sector which will also help strengthen their corporate brands and identity in the global marketplace. For more information on our membership packages please click here
