With an estimated 27 million slaves in the world today, it is clear that slavery did not end with abolition in the 19th century. In an upcoming public lecture, Roscoe Howell examines slavery in the 21st century.
Howell, Director of Slavery Links Australia Inc, provides an evidence-based view of how slavery operates in Australia’s region. He explains how individuals and whole groups can be tricked or trapped into slavery.
