Stopping It Before It Starts: Why Economic Opportunity is the Key to Ending Modern Slavery
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of Good Business, Kim Randle and Fiona David sit down with Serena Grant, Director of Business, Human Rights and Equal Economic Opportunity at the Minderoo Foundation. Serena shares her inspiring journey from corporate law in Tokyo and London to leading one of the Asia Pacific's most significant philanthropic initiatives.
The conversation explores the critical, but often overlooked intersection between gender equality, economic security and modern slavery. Serena breaks down why "economic empowerment" isn't just a buzzword, but a vital shield against exploitation. The trio also discusses the importance of funding prevention strategies rather than just crisis response, challenging harmful gender norms, and the camaraderie required to tackle heavy social issues (including a memorable story about a COVID mishap in London!).
Serena Grant is the Director of Business, Human Rights and Equal Economic Opportunity at the Minderoo Foundation. A former corporate lawyer, she previously led TrustLaw at the Thomson Reuters Foundation, connecting law firms with social enterprises globally. At Minderoo, she works within the Walk Free initiative to end modern slavery by collaborating with businesses, advocating for legal frameworks, and engaging directly with survivors.
