Winning the Fight

With research experience in modern slavery, forced labour, and human rights issues across a wide range of UN bodies, governments and NGOs, Mina is becoming a sought-after expert, especially for her experiences in countering forced labour in the scamming compounds in Southeast Asia and forced labour in the fishing industry. With an interdisciplinary background in engineering, sociology, anthropology, and international development, Mina has consulted in some of the world’s poorest and most conflict-affected countries. Mina served as a board member of the Rotary Action Group Against Slavery and is a peer review college at the UK Modern Slavery and Human Rights Policy and Evidence Centre.

HRC’s mission is to end modern slavery whilst empowering and widening employment opportunities for local people, especially educated youth in developing countries. We centre the voices of those we are fighting for - survivors of modern slavery and workers vulnerable to exploitation, creating space for their expertise in our research and decision-making teams. HRC provide evidence-based consultancy and research for governments, NGOs and the private sector. HRC’s vision is to create a slave-free world, where everyone is equally valued, respected and able to flourish”
