Australia is taking an enormous effort in tackling modern day slavery. According to the Global Slavery Index by Walk Free, Australia holds 15,000 human trafficking victims. Last month, the Australian Border Force (ABF) detained and deported dozens of people from their raids. Many victims come from overseas, predominantly from the Southeast Asian region. Upon each raid, victims are interviewed by ABF officials to determine who the ringleader is. The Australian government is offering support and extended stay before they return home, or obtain an alternative visa.
