A Filipino woman who was hired by an Australian couple to clean and care for their family says she was kept like a slave in that she was forced to work in the pair’s grocery shop and had restrictions placed on where she was allowed to go. And when she managed to escape from their southern Sydney home, the husband and wife hired a private detective to track her down and bring her back.

Modern slavery on display at shop selling items named after victims
March 16, 2021 10:26
Anti-Slavery Australia is raising awareness and funds to prevent modern slavery across the country with an activation on Sydney’s Oxford Street, Human Mart, which is selling items that represent people being exploited.
Coffee Cocoa Gunpowder, the creative agency from Chiquita King and Ant Melder, supported Anti-Slavery Australia in developing the concept of the store, and The Glue Society worked to bring it to life.
Items in the store include tins of vegetables, blocks of chocolate, packets of pasta, boxes of cereal, and bottles of drink, each named after a different person who has been trapped into slavery.
