Learn, recognise, act: Empowering multicultural communities to stop modern slavery

Modern slavery can take many forms and affect more Australians and communities than we realise. Women, children, refugees, people seeking asylum, and recent migrants including international students are most at risk.

Our SToP program works with multicultural communities to increase knowledge and understanding about modern slavery with a focus on forced labour, domestic servitude, and forced marriage. We offer in-language community education to help migrant communities recognise the signs of these issues and empower them to take positive action.

SToP is funded by the Attorney-General’s Department under the National Action Plan modern slavery grants program.

• Multicultural communities residing in NSW, Queensland and Victoria, including community and faith leaders.
• We welcome everyone interested in learning more about ending modern slavery, including schools, settlement and migrant agencies, and any other groups.

Modern slavery refers to situations of exploitation where an individual is unable to refuse or leave due to threats, deception, and coercion. It is an abuse of power where the basic human right of freedom is denied.
