Andrew Forrest, an Australian mining magnate and evangelical Christian, has recently launched the Global Freedom Network to fight modern slavery with the support of Pope Francis, the Archbishop of Canterbury and the most senior Sunni Muslim cleric the Grand Imam of al-Azhar.
The formation of this inter-faith initiative follows the release late last year of the first Global Slavery Index which found that almost 30 million people worldwide are living in conditions of modern slavery.
