Listen to The Guardian's special on Farm Workers in Australia.

#Underpayment is not the only issue here: severe exploitation goes in tandem with it. In this clip, it’s alleged that workers – many from the Pacific islands – are routinely exploited.

Final @ACRATHumans tile for the RESPECT campaign of #16daysofActivism2021 is T for

Time to Act

Also in South Australia as the problem is here as well:

#ModernSlavery is a gendered issue and within this #CoerciveControl is a major issue

[Stop Modern Slavery SA @stopslaverysa]

RESPECT: we are publishing the @ACRATHumans tile on the letter C for #ChampionChange

We are part of the change. We are part of the solution. everyday through our choices and voice.

#OrangeTheWorld

[Stop Modern Slavery SA @stopslaverysa]

The second E for RESPECT is for Equality for #16DaysOfActivism
71% of MS victims – nearly 30 million – are estimated by ILO to be women and girls.
#ModernSlavery is driven by power imbalances which, for women and girls, is exacerbated by gender inequality.
@ACRATHumans

[Stop Modern Slavery SA @stopslaverysa]

P for #Prevention: prevention is the way to tackle #ModernSlavery
In SA, #ForcedMarriage - a gender-based violence - is recorded as the highest of all the slavery-like practices and is preventable.
@ACRATHumans

[Stop Modern Slavery SA @stopslaverysa]

For the #16Days, today the S from RESPECT is for #Silence

In 2007 @UNODC Ex-Dir Antonio Maria Costa said:
'Slavery is a booming international trade .. we simply prefer to close our eyes to it, as [we] buy the products and the services produced on the cheap by slaves'

[Stop Modern Slavery SA @stopslaverysa]

As #ModernSlavery is gender-based violence too, this tile from @ACRATHumans reminds us that we all have a role to play

The 2019 @Flinders #Report against MS in SA submitted only one recommendation: to set up a Parliamentary inquiry - still unfulfilled
@MarmoDr

[Stop Modern Slavery SA @stopslaverysa]

The UN 16 days of activism begins today (International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women), and ends of 10 Dec (Human Rights Day)

Modern Slavery is also a gendered crime

[Stop Modern Slavery SA @stopslaverysa]

@fairwork_gov_au reminds us that also in Adelaide
'All workers have the same rights in Australia regardless of nationality or visa status.'

Underpaying 20 employees for $186,000 = extreme form of exploitation akin to #ModernSlavery

[DrMarmo @MarmoDr]

#WageTheft needs to be tackled seriously and promptly in SA. There are serious repercussions akin to slavery for those most vulnerable, like temporary visa holders.

Glad that the @Flinders' report on #ModernSlavery was considered in the @mcguiremi 's article👇🏾

As the final day of the @AntiSlaveryOz begins, it is good to hear - over and over again - that collaboration and partnership is the way forward.

This is what we aim in SA too. #ModernSlavery is a bipartisan issue: there are no sides and only one #HumanRights' goal.

[Anti-Slavery Oz @AntiSlaveryOz]

Great beginning to Day 3 of Partnering to end modern slavery begins with Alexander Coward & keynote by Vanessa Zimmerman @NessZim @pillar_two ‘human rights issues, including modern slavery, are complex and challenging, ‘no one group can solve these issues on their own’.

[Stop Modern Slavery SA @stopslaverysa]

@fairwork_gov_au has organised a free webinar for people working in the fast food, restaurant and café sector about recent changes that may affect them.

This is of particular importance to temporary visa holders.
