Modern Slavery in 2025 What’s Happening in NZ and the Pacific

Rhema Breakfast highlights the significant issue of modern slavery, particularly affecting women and children in Southeast Asia and even in New Zealand. Kate Russell, Executive Director of Hagar, explains that over 50 million people are currently enslaved, with many facing forced servitude, debt bondage, and sexual exploitation.

Hagar focuses on the recovery of survivors by providing psychological and physical support, helping them reintegrate into their communities, and addressing the root causes of their trafficking, primarily poverty. Donations to Hagar can make a meaningful impact in supporting these vulnerable individuals.
