Heroes Among Us - Conversation with Linda Reynolds

Linda Reynolds is a former Australian Senator and Minister who played a pivotal role in introducing the Australian Modern Slavery Act. With a distinguished career in politics and defence, Linda has combined her legislative expertise with a deep commitment to human rights and anti-trafficking advocacy.

Her journey began after attending a Commonwealth workshop on modern slavery in London, which inspired her to lead Australia’s first parliamentary inquiry into the issue. Linda later championed the fight against orphanage trafficking, a form of exploitation she discovered during a visit to Cambodia. Today, she continues to advocate for systemic change, raising awareness about slavery in Australia and globally, and calling for stronger protections for vulnerable children and workers.

Linda’s unique perspective blends policy leadership with practical action. She believes that ending modern slavery requires collaboration between governments, civil society, and individuals—and that informed choices by everyday Australians can dismantle exploitative systems.
