Siddharth Kara Biography

Siddharth Kara is an author, researcher, and activist on modern slavery. He is a British Academy Global Professor and an associate professor of human trafficking and modern slavery at Nottingham University. He was one of only 10 academics globally to receive the prestigious BA Global Professorship in 2020. His books on modern slavery are "Sex Trafficking: Inside the Business of Modern Slavery" (2009); "Bonded Labor: Tackling the System of Slavery in South Asia" (2012); "Modern Slavery: A Global Perspective" (2017); and "Cobalt Red: How the Blood of the Congo Powers Our lives" (2023).

During 22 years of field research, Kara has traveled to more than 50 countries to document the cases of thousands of enslaved people and child laborers. He advises several UN agencies and numerous governments on anti-slavery policy and law. His research as a BA Global Professor with the Rights Lab provided the first comprehensive academic study of slavery and child labor in cobalt mining in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, including prevalence estimates, supply chain tracing, and public health and environmental impacts.
