Members of the African Survivor Coalition participated in the Freedom from Slavery Forum in Nairobi, organised by Free the Slaves. It was a valuable opportunity to reconnect, learn, share experiences, and amplify survivor voices in the fight against modern slavery.
We were especially proud to see our Executive member, @godfreympandikizi , contribute to discussions on legal aid practices and the barriers survivors of human trafficking face in accessing justice.
We celebrate our members’ continued leadership and commitment to advancing survivor-centred justice across Africa. ✊🏾

Every day, delivery drivers bring meals to our doorsteps often without recognition, and sometimes without the basic support they need to get by. This week, Al-Faruq Humanitarian Organization, a member of the African Survivor Coalition (ASC), shared food packages with delivery workers across the community.
Many are navigating real hardship: lost jobs, no steady income, injuries that make it harder to work. Economic vulnerability like this is exactly the kind of gap that puts people at risk.
This is what community care looks like. It is small, consistent acts that remind people they aren`t invisible. That`s the work we`re committed to.
