The ISC Modern Slavery Coalition was established in 2019 in response to the introduction of the Australian Modern Slavery Act. This coalition aims to accelerate the eradication of modern slavery from infrastructure’s supply chains by shifting industry from a place of reactive compliance to one of transformational leadership.
The International Labour Organisation estimates there are over 49.6 million victims of modern slavery globally. Modern slavery includes a range of severe exploitive practices, including slavery; servitude; forced labour; debt bondage; abuse of vulnerability and other means for the purpose of exploitation. Of the estimated 49.6 million victims, 27.6 million people were victims of forced labour of which 16.3% are in the construction sector.
The Modern Slavery Coalition is very keen to hear from any ISC member that might be interested in joining the group. The Coalition meets approximately every six weeks and works together to raise awareness, build capability and deliver positive impact toward the ultimate goal of the eradication of Modern Slavery.
