Human trafficking and modern-day slavery exist within Australia.
It is both a source and destination country for men, women, and children trafficked to work in agriculture, construction, as domestic servants or forced prostitution. Many Australian teenage girls are subjected to commercial sexual exploitation forced into prostitution by pimps.
Foreign victims from various parts of South East Asia are recruited temporarily to work in Australia only to be subjected to forced labor, have their travel documents confiscated and face physical threats, debt bondage, and captivity. Similarly, women are trafficked into Australia for forced prostitution.
In the Australian context, many cases of human trafficking are often not identified and therefore not reported, so the true extent of the problem is not fully known. An increase in public awareness, an acknowledgment of the problem by government agencies, campaigns by well known NGO’s, universities and advocacy groups is helping to more clearly identify the problem in Australia.
