"Trafficking in Women: Where to From Here?"

Project Respect will bring together key experts on trafficking in Australia, and discuss future directions for counter-trafficking in Australia.

Background

In October 2003, the Federal Government announced $20 million to combat trafficking for prostitution. Recently, new anti-trafficking legislation was passed.

What impact have these developments had?
Is trafficking for prostitution changing in Australia?
Are victims getting a better deal?
What else needs to happen?

KEYNOTE SPEAKERS:
Pru Goward: Sex Discrimination Commissioner
Jennifer Burn: Anti-Slavery Centre, University of Technology Sydney

The forum will be followed by the launch of the National Anti-Trafficking Network at 5pm, and the launch of Project Respect’s fundraising art exhibition.
