The e-Handbook, Legislating against Modern Slavery, Human Trafficking & Forced Labour, is a comprehensive guide for parliamentarians and parliamentary officials on legislating effectively against modern slavery-related crimes.

The e-Handbook covers topics such as gathering cross-party support; creating and reviewing legislation; engaging civil society; and the role of parliament at the implementation stage.

Over 50 experts have contributed to the resource, including parliamentarians; legislative drafters; clerks; and leading modern slavery lawyers representing the UK, Nigeria, Malawi, Pakistan, Australia and elsewhere.

Urmila Bhoola, UN Special Rapporteur: “The e-Handbook is the most comprehensive, insightful and practical guide that exists in its field.”
