1/5 Human trafficking is not only a human rights catastrophe. It is a business. Tens of millions of people are trapped in forced labour and exploitation. The networks behind it generate hundreds of billions of dollars every year.

With new Ministers taking office today, the UK has an opportunity to go further in cutting off the revenues that fuel Russia's war. Our new policy paper sets out practical steps the government can take to make it happen: bit.ly/4gLAWuJ @razomwestand.bsky.social @creacleanair.bsky.social

1/4 On #DayOfTheSeafarer, we recognise the millions of seafarers who keep global trade moving - often unseen, and too often unprotected.

1/7 This #WorldRefugeeDay, the conversation is pointed in the wrong direction. In the UK, complex injustice is too often reduced to one image: the "small boat” in the Channel.

We’ll be at London Climate Action Week 2026 🌍 Environmental crime is hugely profitable, but the money behind it is too rarely traced to justice. If you work where climate, finance and human rights meet, we would love to talk. See you there 👋 londonclimateactionweek.org/main-program...

1/5 Nine years ago today, 72 people were killed at Grenfell Tower. Many more survived and carry that night with them still. We remember them 💚 #Grenfell #ForeverInOurHearts

1/5 The systems that keep people marginalised are rarely new or accidental. Discrimination, dispossession and abuses of power often rest on older foundations: extractive systems inherited, adapted and sustained.

🌍 Environmental harm does not happen in isolation. On #WorldEnvironmentDay, we're reminded that deforestation, illegal mining, pollution and land dispossession are often enabled by complex financial and corporate networks. We investigate these systems to support accountability. 🔗 find.ngo/ourwork

📍 The UK’s Illicit Finance Summit has been delayed to December 2026. We hope the additional time is used carefully and constructively to sustain ambition, strengthen accountability and deliver concrete commitments that better protect people and communities affected by financial impunity.

📑 New @hrw.org report "Looking the Other Way” exposes the EU’s failure to stop surveillance tech exports to rights-violating governments. Bulgaria to Azerbaijan. Poland to Rwanda. Sweden to India. European-made tools used to target journalists and activists.

Last week, FIND had planned to travel to Lusaka for RightsCon 2026. The summit did not go ahead. Our solidarity is with @accessnow.org, @rightscon.org, partners in Zambia & all who hoped to be there. The work on tech and surveillance continues. Read RightsCon's statement: lnkd.in/eu4xxhCJ

🚨 Gold isn’t just a commodity - it’s a major channel for financial crime: money laundering, sanctions evasion & corruption. Ahead of the UK Illicit Finance Summit, we’ve joined 34 orgs calling for stronger action. 🔗 lnkd.in/eX2ZyT6D 📄 lnkd.in/eG2Kw_aZ #IllicitFinance #FinancialCrime #Gold

🎉 FIND is 6 years old! It started with a simple idea: impunity rarely exists without a financial trail. Since then, we have worked to investigate the enablers of harm and support accountability. The work continues! #FinancialInvestigations #Accountability #HumanRights #Justice

🦜 End extraction. Prevent extinction. The Amazon’s biodiversity is under threat and time is running out. Our work as part of the #TLC is focussed on ending extraction to prevent extinction. Support our #EarthRaise campaign today, and double your impact: donate.biggive.org/campaign/a05...

Deforestation isn’t accidental. It’s profitable. That’s the problem. We’re working to hold those driving Amazon destruction accountable and this week your donation is doubled through #EarthRaise. Real impact. Real accountability. donate.biggive.org/campaign/a05...

📢 Technology can drive progress or harm. Surveillance, censorship, data abuse and digital repression threaten rights worldwide, as data centres strain communities too. We follow the money behind these harms, and hold those responsible to account. find.ngo/ourwork #TechAccountability #DigitalRights

⚖️ Tradeoffs: War, Supply, Profit - business, finance and law are increasingly tied to atrocity crimes. Join FIND’s @mgutz.bsky.social at the 2026 IBA War Crimes Committee Conference in The Hague. 🗓 18 April | 📍 Leiden University 🔗 www.ibanet.org/session-deta... #WarCrimes #InternationalLaw

New research from Friends of the Earth, RimbaWatch and @earthsight.bsky.social reveals the grim truth of the Malaysian timber trade. Head to the link in our bio to see the research in full and demand a new law to ensure UK companies protect people and wildlife in their global supply chains.

📢 Exploitation doesn’t happen in isolation! Following the International Day of Remembrance of Victims of Slavery, we reflect on how it persists today. At FIND, we investigate trafficking, forced labour, and supply chains to drive accountability. 🔗 find.ngo/ourwork #FairLabour #ModernSlavery

On the International Day for the Right to the Truth concerning Gross Human Rights Violations, justice depends on more than evidence, it depends on systems that allow it. A UK case against a former Syrian colonel highlights the limits of universal jurisdiction: theconversation.com/syrian-ex-co...

📢 International crimes don’t happen in isolation. Behind atrocities are networks of individuals, companies and financial flows that enable and profit from harm. We investigate these illicit networks to support accountability and international justice. 🔗 find.ngo/ourwork

🔍 Beyond Spyware: Investigating the Deeper Surveillance Ecosystem Join FIND’s Mariana Gutiérrez at #GIJC2025 next week (21 Nov, 5–6:15pm, KLCC Level 3 - Room 306) with Crofton Black, Rebekah Brown & Sandrine Rigaud to explore how journalists can uncover the global surveillance industry.

Next week (29–31 Oct), FIND’s Jack Parham joins @smex.org's Bread&Net in Beirut! Make sure you catch our two sessions: 🔎 Look Who’s Selling — workshop on investigating surveillance firms 🎤 Click, Load, Kill — panel on the cyberweapon industry in WANA 🔗 Register: breadandnet.org

FIND is now on Instagram! 📸 Follow us at www.instagram.com/find_ngo/ Stay up to date on our work exposing the actors, tech & systems behind human rights abuses, international crimes & environmental harm — and our efforts to build global capacity for truth & justice.

👏 Congrats to @lighthousereports.com and partners on Surveillance Secrets. Fearless reporting exposing a global phone-tracking system targeting journalists, politicians & others + an industry skirting sanctions & export controls. FIND is pleased to have played a supporting role in the investigation

🧵What’s the biggest lie the surveillance industry tells? That they only sell to legal clients. That there are red lines. But what do these companies say when they think nobody is watching? We went undercover to find out

🚨 Affaire du financement libyen de la campagne de Nicolas Sarkozy : une condamnation historique et inédite. Dans un climat inquiétant dans lequel les institutions judiciaires sont de plus en plus dénigrées, la justice a démontré sa force et son indépendance 👉 www.asso-sherpa.org/une-condamna...

Spyware sold as “crime-fighting tech” is used to target journalists, activists & dissidents. Between 2011–23, 1/3 of countries bought it, with nearly every WANA state implicated. With @smex.org, we mapped vendors & profiteers so civil society and policymakers can pursue accountability.

Vas Panagiotopoulos@vaspanagiotopoulos.com · 10mo ago

A new report by @smex.org, with support from @find.ngo & @accessnow.org, concludes that NSO Group, Cytrox/Intellexa, Cellebrite, and Saito Tech/Candiru are the most active commercial #spyware vendors in West Asia & 🌍North Africa. smex.org/new-research...
