In a letter addressed to Gladys Berejiklian, the consortium, which also included academics, lawyers and community and faith leaders, expressed its concerns over further delays in implementing the Act. Carolyn Kitto, co-director of Be Slavery Free, a global coalition working to prevent, abolish and disrupt modern slavery, said there are more slaves in the world today than any other time in history. “Every day, 25,200 people, as a guestimate, enter slavery. So, every day that this is delayed, NSW, which is the seventh largest economy in Asia, loses an opportunity to set a standard about ending modern slavery.” Ms Kitto, one of the signatories of the letter, believes the Act, if put into force, will help end slavery in the supply chain. “It’s estimated that 70 to 80 per cent of slavery is actually in the supply chain of the goods that we buy, and we’ve been an importing country,” she said. Image: Sam McNair “Our manufacturing is largely offshore, and so asking vulnerable, because they’re deceived, tricked or coerced into businesses to check their supply women, because they’re children, what they’re doing,” Ms Kitto said.
