About the Author
Kevin Bales is a renowned sociologist, human rights activist, and professor whose groundbreaking research has illuminated the pervasive global crisis of modern slavery. With decades of fieldwork across continents, from the brothels of Thailand to the brick kilns of Pakistan, Bales has dedicated his career to exposing the human cost of this hidden epidemic, advocating for policy reforms and survivor empowerment. As a founder of Free the Slaves and author of influential texts on the economics and ethics of bondage, he bridges academic rigor with compelling narratives that humanize the voiceless. His work has influenced international legislation and inspired a new generation of abolitionists committed to dismantling systems of exploitation in the 21st century.
