Under the imminent legislation, New Zealand entities with income over $20 million p.a. must submit annual reports of the risk of labour abuse in their supply chains. A public register of the disclosure statements will be established, and a penalty regime implemented.

The New Zealand Government has today announced it is drafting modern slavery legislation. This is a significant milestone for New Zealand, which aligns us with other countries (e.g., Australia and the UK).

[Walk Free @WalkFree]

NZ’s Deputy PM Carmel Sepuloni announced its commitment to introduce new modern slavery legislation.

The UK Government’s Illegal Migration Bill will prevent modern slavery survivors from accessing support due to fears of being detained and deported.

"Their data underpins our understanding of the enormity of the problem – that since 2016, the no. of people in #modernslavery has increased by approx. 10mil. Their work has shone light into some of the darkest recesses of humanity; disclosures that demand action." - @SenatorWong

Migrant workers are three times as likely to be victims of labour exploitation as national workers. Glad to have shared the floor for a moment to talk about what we can do to fix it. #modernslaveryconference #takingactiontogether @WalkFree @ILOAsiaPacific
