The American Anti-Slavery Group (AASG) is a non-profit coalition of abolitionist organizations that engages in political activism to abolish slavery in the world.
AASG builds awareness through publications, school curricula, conferences, and a Speakers’ Bureau, consisting mainly of survivors of slavery.
[7] Anti-Slavery International has also stated that, "The charge that government troops engage in raids for the purpose of seizing slaves is not backed by the evidence.
Aid workers, missionaries, and even the rebel movement that facilitates the redemption of slaves in the claim it is often an elaborate scam or a "corrupt racket.
"[9] Groups, including the Sudan Embassy, Canada, state that the practice of paying the rebels prolongs the war,[10] while others claim it brought the "perverse incentives" of slavery in many areas.
[11][12] Manase Lomole Waya, who runs Humanitarian Assistance for South Sudan, a group based in Nairobi, praises AASG for its effort, but brings a warning: "We welcome them for exposing the agony of our people to the world," he said.
Charles Jacobs, president of the American Anti-Slavery Group, concedes there is an increase in slave-taking since 1995 in terms of the growing intensity of the Sudanese war, but rebukes characterizations that it creates a market for the slave trade.
