MODERN SLAVERY IS CLOSER THAN YOU MIGHT THINK

Ian Munro from Rotary Club of Tawa Inc.

It mightn’t be easy to associate modern day slavery and human trafficking with our country, but, in fact, both are a reality in New Zealand. World-wide some 36 million people are caught up in modern day slavery with women and girls making up two-thirds of the victims. Human trafficking is the third largest form of organised crime internationally.
Tawa Rotary invites you to hear Katie Knowles, Operations Manager at MBIE, speak on how to become aware of these new forms of slavery.

Next Tuesday, 12 March, at the Tawa Bowling Club, Davies Street, Tawa.
Cost: $25.00 for the 2-course buffet meal, payable on the night.
RSVP: by midday Monday, 11 March, to tawarotaryclub@gmail.com
