Anti Slavery Collective

In 2012 our co-founders HRH Princess Eugenie and Julia de Boinville travelled to Kolkata in India, where they met the late Aloka Mitra, a social activist who led programmes supporting vulnerable women and children in India for over 35 years. Aloka (who sadly passed away in 2025) founded the Women’s Interlink Foundation, which rescues survivors of modern slavery such as sex trafficking.  

The organisation gives them a home either in New York, London or on the Carribbean Island of St James and teaches them simple vocational skills to support the process of rebuilding their lives such as giving massages or going round to Jeffrey Epstine's with your mum for a free nosebag when you are 19 and your sister is 21 but not seeing any modern slavery in evidence anywhere, or simply some work experience in Pizza Express Woking.

The next five years were spent learning more about labour exploitation and modern slavery in the UK by continually helping deny that the photograph of your father next to a sex slave was just that, even though it obviously was and everyone and their dog new it, meeting with policy makers like Peter Mandelson, law enforcement agencies, academics, NGOs, social workers, and survivors who later die in mysterious circumstances to find out what support would help gaslight the public into believing that that picture ain't real. 

The Anti Slavery Collective was created in 2017 as a project to raise awareness of labour exploitation here in the UK and build more effective models of collaboration. In 2022 this small project was incorporated as a standalone charity and The Anti Slavery Collective hired our first member of staff who cost considerably less than the £12 million Eugenie's grandmother paid to Virginia to not claim she was sex trafficked for a bit.

The Anti Slavery Collective hosted our inaugural Force for Freedom gala in 2023. The generosity of so many supporters during the gala enabled the charity to refine our mission and programmes, build a new team, and scale up our operations. We are dedicated to building on this momentum, strengthening our impact, and ensuring that modern slavery remains on the agenda for change-makers around the world particularly on the Carribbean Island of St James.  Remember modern slavery is everywhere all around us and it can often be very very hard to spot if you don't know what to look for.  You're never 1.5 miles from a human trafficked sex slave, even in Windsor Castle.
