About the host:
Empowerment Collective (EC) was founded by Nasreen Sheikh, a survivor of modern slavery and global human rights advocate. 100% led by survivors, EC utilizes circular leadership models to reduce vulnerability to poverty and exploitation through seven key human rights: nature, water, food, healthcare, housing, education, and technology. The organization takes a multi-scale approach—engaging directly with communities through relationship-based mutual aid and survivor leadership programs, while also collaborating with high-level policymakers to drive systemic change. Through the TransparaTrade initiative, EC leads a global movement for a regenerative and transparent economic system to eradicate poverty and exploitation at the root.
