initiative.
The TransparaTrade™ Initiative-a survivor-developed global framework designed to end modern slavery and address the climate crisis simultaneously by reforming economic systems through transparent, ethical supply chains. The exploitation of people and the exploitation of the planet are two sides of the same crisis, and TransparaTrade™ offers an immediate, unified solution to both. At its core, TransparaTrade™ is more than a system-it is a Global Table of Peace, where survivors, governments, corporations, academics, lawyers, technologists, artists, and citizens come together as equals within a circular leadership model that centers survivor lived experience. United by transparency, accountability, and collaboration, this model ensures that no one is unseen and no contribution is too small.
TransparaTrade operates through a three-pronged approach
MOVEMENT
End Modern Slavery Now Movement is a survivor-founded, women- and family-led global campaign dedicated to raising awareness and mobilizing action to end modern slavery worldwide. The movement seeks to awaken the public to the human suffering that they and their families unknowingly consume every day through hidden and exploitative supply chains. It aims to disrupt the economic incentives that sustain exploitative labor practices by encouraging individuals, businesses, and communities to make informed and conscious decisions about their consumption. The movement empowers families and communities to demand global transparency labeling on all products, affirming the right to know what they consume and the ability to choose ethical and conscious alternatives. It calls for the implementation of a worldwide supply chain transparency and labeling system. Because every choice we make what we wear, eat, and buy either fuels exploitation or helps free people and protect the planet.
ACCORD
The TransparaTrade™ Accord - a proposed global legislative framework inviting all nations to unite under a shared commitment to make every supply chain transparent through a unified, global, fair-exchange economic system. Fair exchange is deeply rooted in the wisdom and values of Indigenous cultures, whose philosophies have long emphasized the harmonious coexistence of humanity with nature, the importance of community, and the equitable distribution of resources. These philosophies are not only ethical guidelines but also practical frameworks for governance, economic exchange, and environmental stewardship that have stood the test of time. The Accord establishes that forced labor, child labor, and ecological destruction are systemic crimes against humanity and against the Earth, perpetrated through economic genocide and ecocide. It proposes mandatory global supply-chain transparency labeling laws, ensuring that every product manufactured, exported, imported, and sold can trace its raw materials and labor.
TECHNOLOGY
The TransparaTrade™ Technology: a blockchain-based, fair-exchange, person-to-person system that pairs with standard labor contract systems to bring transparency to life, ensuring key human rights are protected. A system born from survivor lived experience one that gives identity, visibility, and fair pay to all, including those who can’t read or write. A system that allows anyone, even those without papers, to record their work, verify their labor, and receive fair, transparent payment. By integrating the wisdom and values of Indigenous cultures these time-honored practices into the technological and governance structures of TransparaTrade™, the system seeks to create a balanced and sustainable global economy.
