COVID Pandemic Raises Risk of Modern Slavery; Report: Migrants, Refugees, Visa Temps Affected

In its first annual report released today (July 28, 2020), the Australian Anti-Catholic Slavery Network has found the risk of modern slavery has been increased by the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the Catholic News website.

ACAN warns that migrants, refugees, and temporary visa holders now find themselves in more insecure work because of the current downturn.

ACAN, which was founded in December 2019, brings together 32 Catholic entities including dioceses, schools, universities, and several organizations.

It is coordinated by the Anti-Slavery Taskforce of the Sydney Archdiocese.
