Trade Aid and World Vision and many other supporters head
to Parliament tomorrow (29 June) at 12.30pm to present a
collective petition calling for a Modern Slavery Act. More
than 36,000 New Zealanders have signed, asking the
Government to act now.
Modern Slavery goes against our
Kiwi values. New Zealanders have united with a strong
message that they do not want slavery in our
goods.
Modern slavery legislation will make it easier
for Kiwis to expect slavery-free products and services from
companies. The Modern Slavery Act would require New Zealand
businesses to understand the risks in their purchasing,
report on those risks, and take action to address them.
