| Slavery is not consigned to history as many people think, nor does it only involve people in the world's poorest countries. Not only does it persist in Australia but millions of Australians could be unwittingly supporting the some forms of slavery every time they go to the shops.
Modern slavery is a hidden crime and refers to situations where a person is being exploited and cannot leave their situation because of threats, violence, coercion, deception and abuse of power.
This is includes but is not limited to human trafficking, forced marriage, forced labour and debt bondage. Half of victims of slavery are estimated to be women and girls.
