What is Modern Slavery?
More than 41,000 people are estimated to be living in modern slavery across Australia. 22 people a day are being trapped in slavery in Australia. Globally, that number rises to 49.6 million. Victims are trapped in forced labour, domestic servitude, human trafficking or forced marriage. Many don’t even realise they’re victims.
Ending slavery starts with awareness.
Survivor School: Restoring Dignity & Independence
“The Freedom Hub helps survivors stay motivated and seek opportunities to live a life of freedom. This sets them up with hope as well as the opportunity to have another go and not lose heart.” — Sally Irwin, Founder
