Human trafficking, debt bondage, forced marriage, servitude, and slavery are on the rise, and the reported numbers likely don’t tell the full story.
There were 328 reports of modern slavery and human trafficking offences in the 2023-24 financial year, the Australian Federal Police (AFP) have revealed.
It’s a 12 percent increase on the 340 figure the year before, making it the highest on record.
