The Anti-Slavery Society was founded in Britain in 1823. Its official name was the Society for the Mitigation and Gradual Abolition of Slavery Throughout the British Dominions. This campaign came to fruition with the Slavery Abolition Act in 1833.
In 1839, a new Anti-Slavery Society, called the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society was founded. The aim was to campaign against slavery world-wide. In 1990 the name was changed to Anti-Slavery International.
There is also a modern Anti-Slavery Society, which is an autonomous organisation in alliance with Anti-Slavery International and 'Free the Slaves'. It is composed of two entities: the American Anti-Slavery Society (a new organisation founded in 1995 with the same name as the old American Anti-Slavery Society founded in 1833 by William LLloyd Garrison) and the Australian Anti-Slavery Society.
Its main functions are program partnerships to rescue children from slavery and provide social reintegration.
