About JLI

An international collaboration on evidence for faith actors’ activities, contributions, and challenges to achieving humanitarian and development goals. Founded in 2012, JLI came together with a single shared conviction: there is an urgent need to build our collective understanding, through evidence, of faith actors in humanitarianism and development.

On September 28, 2021, The JLI Anti-Trafficking and  Modern Slavery Hub, University of Leeds, and the IAHT Network co-hosted a conversation with Researchers, International Practitioners and Participants on how international anti-trafficking practitioners have adapted their responses to the unprecedented challenges of COVID-19 and in particular, the role of faith actors during a time of crisis.
