Modern slavery a blight

Research output: Contribution to journalNewspaper ArticleProfessional

Abstract

You might wonder how is modern slavery relevant to life on the Gold Coast? Is it just another woke agenda? The reality is modern slavery has surged by 10 million in the past decade, now ensnaring 50 million people globally.

These invisible chains can bind cleaners, construction workers, fruit pickers, factory labourers and nannies.

Today’s slaves are often hiding in plain sight when they build our tech, clean our houses, massage our bodies, and sew our fashion.
