Uniting Church members become modern-day abolitionists

Uniting Church members are joining forces with Christians across Australia to speak up against human trafficking and slavery on Abolitionist Sunday 23 November.

UnitingWorld is joining forces with World Vision for Abolitionist Sunday, to raise awareness of the issue of human trafficking and slavery and equip  Christians to speak up on the issue. World Vision  Australia’s chief executive, Tim Costello, says that Christians are often unaware of the human suffering that may be behind the products and services they buy.

“Human trafficking is woven into the lives we lead – whether we know it or not,” said Tim.

“Our own actions may even contribute to this demand because of the goods we consume.”
