Our new report - Broken Promises - shows Australian companies still have a long way to go in tackling #modernslavery Read it here humanrights.unsw.edu.au/news… @humanrightsHRLC @AmyJSinclair @FreyaHRLC @martijnboersma @FixoTweets @shelley_marshal @BaptistWorldAid

But a new report says in most cases, the promises to tackle modern slavery exist on paper only.

Educating girls is not a waste of resources. It's about building resources for the future. We are broken hearted about a whole generation of Afghan girls who are missing out on education and the opportunity to build their futures, economies and country.
