Passover was established to commemorate the Hebrew's freedom after G-d delivered them from slavery in ancient Egypt, as described in Exodus. The festival itself is formulated in Leviticus 23.5.

In modern times, it has come to serve not just as a reminder of that long-ago slavery but also to teach and remind us that slavery still exists. As such, many Jews will donate money or their services to charities and not-for-profit organisations which aim to end slavery around the world and to improve the conditions of certain groups such as bonded labourers in sweat-shops.
