Breaking the Bonds of Human Trafficking and Slavery

Faith Groups lead the Fight

Many people think that slavery is a thing of the past. Sadly this is not so. Faith groups in Australia have taken up the challenge to fight against human trafficking and slavery and to reach out to those who have been affected by this crime. A recent article written by Siobhan Hegarty for ABC Radio programme The Religion and Ethics Report highlight the efforts of two such groups – ACRATH and The Freedom Partnership to End Modern Slavery. Sr Margaret Ng rsj, NSW Regional Coordinator for ACRATH, was interviewed for this article.
