In responding to COVID-19 many have adopted the rallying cry of “we are all in this together.” But the stark reality is that we are not.

Many have lost jobs and are stranded overseas, unable to support themselves or return home due to lockdowns and travel restrictions. The combination of these health, safety, and economic risks creates the perfect storm for exploitation, forced labour and other forms of modern slavery to flourish.
