A presentation I did for school

1. Forced labour • Abolition of Slavery 1833
• Human Trafficking = Modern Slavery
Even extraction of
body parts!
Sexual exploitation

3. • Debts they never owed
• Working long hours, under the
threat of violence
“I had to run away, even if it meant I
might die”

4. • Roughly 2/1000 of the world are victims
• 3/1000 in Asia & Pacific
• Less than 0.04% of the traffickers were
convicted

5. • More slaves in the world than ever before in the human history
• Dumped or killed when no longer of use
• 2nd biggest international crime industry – $31.6 Billion Profit,
Flowing directly into our lives

7. • Slavery Convention 1926

the slavery trade and Practices similar to Slavery( 1956)

• Still many lack legal instrument or
political will

8. • Criminal Code (Slavery and Sexual
Servitude) Amendment Act 1999 (Cth)

9. • Raise Awareness
• Assist Authorities

vulnerability
