Workers in Australia have been urged to be aware of human trafficking markers, after reports of forced labour and exploitation have doubled in the past five years. The AFP warned seasonal and temporary workers — particularly migrants — in the agriculture, construction, hospitality and manufacturing sectors were the most at risk. There were 178 reports of forced labour and exploitation since 2018-2019, crimes which the AFP on Sunday said “are forms of human trafficking”.
“Forced labour is when people are coerced, threatened or deceived into working against their will because they do not consider they are free to stop work, or leave their place of employment,” AFP said. “Signs a person may be a victim include acts of physical and psychological abuse, poor working conditions and being in debt bondage — when a victim believes they have a large debt owing to their employer and must work to pay it off.
