HRH Princess Eugenie, co-founder of The Anti-Slavery Collective, shares the inspiration behind the organization’s inception: encounters with survivors of modern slavery. A significant event was meeting a woman in Kolkata, India in 2012 who rescues and supports trafficked women by providing employment opportunities. This experience motivated Princess Eugenie and her close friend Julia de Boinville to establish a platform promoting products crafted by these liberated women.
The cause was later brought to the UK where they met other individuals, including a modern slavery survivor named Seema, who further fueled their motivation. With a shared vision of eradicating modern slavery and human trafficking, Princess Eugenie and Julia founded The Anti-Slavery Collective in 2017. This initiative serves as a communal space for charities and organizations to gain knowledge about modern-day slavery and human trafficking while advocating for a world free from these atrocities.

Princess Eugenie has also worked with leaders and organizations such as the McCain Institute, the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe’s Alliance, the US Ambassador-at-Large for Combating Trafficking in Persons, and Anti-Slavery International.
