I'm normally not a fan of saying something/someone is "on the wrong side of history" (predictions of the future are notoriously unreliable), but when it comes to slavery, I feel like the jury of history has been in for a while now.
This week the coalition government has said that the issue of modern slavery is not a priority for them. (From the mouth of a minister who notoriously said human life had been overvalued in NZ's Covid response.)
If you believe slavery IS an important issue, you can:
a) do your grocery shopping with guides from JustKai.org.nz
b) do your clothes shopping with the Ethical Fashion Guide from BaptistWorldAid.org.au
c) email the government and tell them how messed up their priorities are.
