Modern Slavery Myth Busters 2

Modern Slavery Myth Busters 2

In this episode as we continue the exploration of modern slavery by debunking common myths.

MYTH #3: Modern slavery is mostly in sectors like sex trafficking.

While sex trafficking is a visible aspect, it constitutes only a fraction of modern slavery. Forced marriage, for example, makes up a significant portion, affecting millions globally. We share the story of Jasvinda Sagara, who escaped a forced marriage and now advocates for others in similar situations.

MYTH #4: Modern slavery doesn’t impact me

Modern slavery touches all our lives through the products we consume. From the food we eat to the clothes we wear and the electronics we use, many everyday items have supply chains tainted by modern slavery. Australians, for instance, import billions of dollars worth of products at risk of being produced under such conditions.

MYTH #5: Modern slavery only impacts poverty stricken, unskilled, desperate people.

While poverty and desperation do heighten vulnerability, modern slavery also affects educated and skilled individuals. For instance, some university graduates are trafficked into scam centers, exploiting their technical skills. Modern slavery spans all demographics and regions, driven by factors like conflict and economic hardship.
