Modern Anti Slavery Statements

Modern Slavery Statement 2024

Modern slavery is an issue that touches us all through the goods and services we buy every day. Today, there are more than 41,000 people who experience modern slavery in Australia, which is an increase from 15,000 in 2018. Modern slavery poses a significant challenge to justice worldwide and fundamentally conflicts with the values and principles upheld by the St Vincent de Paul Society NSW. The scope of modern slavery, both in Australia and internationally, requires increased awareness and targeted action by all of us. At St Vincent de Paul Society NSW we have continued to enhance our understanding and strategies to address this injustice.
