Why now
Many Australians would be shocked to know that modern slavery – including forced labour and human trafficking – continues to grow unchecked in our region.
Despite the growing problem, resources to counter human trafficking and modern slavery have collapsed in Asia-Pacific. The withdrawal of USDAID is a major setback that weakened counter-trafficking efforts and leaves the door open to an escalation in exploitation. Australia must do more.
Combating the growing problem of modern slavery requires a new integrated approach involving civil society, government, business and international survivor leaders.
Slavery is not too big to stop – it’s only too big to ignore.
