BREAKING NEWS: Today the Modern Slavery Bill 2018 passed the House of Representatives and is on the way to the Senate – Australia makes history as the first nation in the world to recognise orphanage trafficking as a form of modern slavery.
“As a result of this legislation, Australia will also be the first nation in the world to recognise orphanage trafficking as a form of modern slavery. This means that a reporting entity with activities or supply chains which involve orphanages will need to assess and report on any risks relating to modern slavery in these operations,” said Senator Reynolds.
