TAF is a Canadian not-for-profit. We’re a fully volunteer-run organization.
How we work
Our team travelled extensively in India and China to speak with workers. We’ve spoken with academics and experts around the world to better understand how we could best support survivors of labour exploitation.
Top-down
TAF promotes conscious consumerism worldwide. As the call to action of the film The Price of Cheap, we are actively working to raise awareness of labour exploitation in supply chains.
We encourage corporations to examine and overhaul their production networks and maintain transparency regarding their manufacturing practices.
Bottom-up
In partnership with other not-for-profit, non-governmental, or charity organizations, TAF identifies industries, areas, and people involved in or affected by modern-day slavery. We institute on-the-ground efforts to combat dirty supply chains and rescue and rehabilitate forced or abused labourers. TAF provides direct services to victims and survivors of modern-day slavery, and, for those who are interested, offers help in promoting anti-slavery activism.
Program criteria
We use the following criteria to select programs that we support.
encourage voluntary and transparent corporate disclosures regarding supply-chain integrity
provide support to former labourers, including healthcare, legal aid, vocational training, higher education, and family reunification
build the capacity of other not-for-profit, non-governmental, or charity organizations in developing countries to roll out projects that combat modern-day slavery
contribute research on the prevalence of modern-day slavery in supply chains and manufacturing processes to influence policy making, project development, and advocacy

We’re grateful to all of our volunteers who make our work possible.
