In recent months, trafficking for prostitution has received much attention
in Australia, with widespread media coverage and the first arrests made
under the 1999 sexual slavery laws. Despite this, too little is known
about the extent of trafficking in Australia and there is a lack of coordination
among those working on the issue. This two day conference presents an
opportunity for people from diverse backgrounds to address this grave
human rights violation, and to develop concrete steps to prevent trafficking,
protect trafficked women and prosecute traffickers.
Presented by:
Project Respect in association with RMIT University School of Social Science and Planning and the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission and sponsored by the City of Yarra and VicHealth.
