"Modern slavery is back in the spotlight, after fresh media reports of migrants
allegedly being brought to Australia as students but being forced to work long
hours under harsh conditions with minimal pay.
In Australia, more than half of modern slavery survivors are migrants.
Across our research on modern slavery, survivors (and the caseworkers and
service providers who support them) consistently say issues with Australia’s
visa system prevent people from getting the help they need.
In other words, the current design of the system helps replicate and reproduce
the shameful inequalities at the heart of modern slavery in Australia."
