When Slavery’s Not a Crime – Do We Really Understand the Scope of Modern Slavery? | 5

This episode of “What Happens Next?” features three remarkable students involved in Monash University’s Modern Slavery Law Clinic, which, aims to aid those affected by modern slavery by offering legal assistance, educating students on applying laws in Southeast Asia, and supporting NGOs in the region.

Peggy Sakwa, Phoebe Naylor and Evthoxian Apokis discuss the extent and impact of modern slavery, highlighting the shortcomings of legislation, victim compensation issues and the importance of consumer awareness. They discuss how their understanding of modern slavery evolved, emphasising the realities revealed by their experiences in the clinic and beyond.

While there is some awareness of modern slavery among the average consumer, it can seem like a distant issue, unrelated to our daily lives. At the start of their studies with the clinic, the students participated in a slavery footprint metric that showed just how wrong that assumption is.

The students also spent time examining the complexity involved in addressing modern slavery with legislation, and the need for comprehensive, dedicated legal frameworks to support victims effectively.

Although the issue can seem overwhelming, collective action and activist thinking will drive the change we need.

A full transcript of this episode is available on Monash Lens.
