Since its inception in 2015, the ACRATH calendar has become a beloved fixture in offices, homes, tea rooms and classrooms, thanks to the efforts of Queensland Regional Coordinator Janine Bliss fmm and her team.
These vibrant calendars serve as an invaluable resource, offering a wealth of information on various topics, including:
- Education on modern slavery and human trafficking – Discover how it exists, not only globally, but also right here in Australia, much closer than you may think!
- Important links to raise awareness – From shedding light on the impact of fast fashion and promoting slavery-free chocolate to making your kitchen a slavery-free zone and beyond, these calendars provide essential references for making a positive difference.
- Yearly projects and advocacy work – Find out about the projects and initiatives ACRATH is actively contributing to and join in to make a meaningful impact alongside us.

ACRATH is proud to support the proposal for a First Nations Voice to be enshrined in the Constitution. As the Uluru Statement from the Heart tells us, we need to ensure that First Nations people have a real say in decisions that affect them. ACRATH has sought advice from First Nations colleagues for our signature panels.
We are encouraged by the words of John Lochowiak, who believes that "voting YES for the Voice is a no-brainer.. and that if someone were working on our street construction, we would want to have a conversation about how it affects us."
We also take guidance from Catholic Social Teaching, which says that each person is equal in God-given dignity and that those most affected by a decision must be given a voice.
We are proud to stand in solidarity with our First Nations people and will continue to work for a future in which their voices are heard.

Forms of Human Trafficking
Human Trafficking is also known as modern slavery.
Victims often go willingly with their traffickers because they are being deceived about the nature and conditions of the work. Trafficking is a global phenomenon and nearly every country is a source, transit or destination (or combination of these three) for trafficked persons.
