Description | The National Action Plan is largely focused on the measures and policies implemented by the Australian Government to combat trafficking in human beings and slavery in Australia. Australia’s strategy to combat trafficking in human beings and slavery is founded on three equally important needs: to prevent trafficking and slavery; the need to detect and prosecute offenders; and the need to provide support for trafficked people. The initiatives and practices under the National Action Plan equally focus on trafficking in human beings, slavery and slavery-like practices including forced labour, servitude and forced marriage. The prevention of trafficking in human beings in supply chains is mentioned in the sections on exploitation in supply chains, international and regional leadership and governance and monitoring. |
