SUMMARY:International Day for Abolition of Slavery
DESCRIPTION:Slavery is not something from the past. According to the  International Labour Organisation (ILO) more than 40 million people worldwide are victims of modern slavery. ‘Modern slavery’ is an umbrella term referring to practices such as forced labour\, debt bondage\, forced marriage\, and human trafficking. These practices place people in situations of exploitation that they cannot refuse or leave because of threats\, violence\, coercion\, deception\, and/or abuse of power. \n\n\n\nThe Australian Government has enacted laws aimed at stamping out modern slavery\, including by eliminating it from the supply chains of Australian businesses and organisations. \n\n\n\nAction\n\n\n\nIs your organisation required to submit a Modern Slavery Statement? Check out the guidance for entities that are required to submit such statements here. \n\n\n\nDid you know that the Archdiocese of Sydney has an Anti-Slavery Taskforce? It provides education\, guidance and advice to help Church entities to ensure that they are not unwittingly involved in modern slavery and to meet their legal reporting obligations. \n\n\n\nFind out more about the United Nations’ celebration of the International Day for the Abolition of Slavery.

SUMMARY:2000: 350\,000 people walk for reconciliation in Melbourne and Perth
DESCRIPTION:The Melbourne walk\, starting at Flinders Street Station and finishing at King’s Domain gardens\, drew as many as 300\,000 people. \n\n\n\nThe bridge walk and similar events across Australia were enormously important in showing that public sentiment was moving towards support for more concrete steps in the reconciliation process. Though the event was organised by Aboriginal people those taking part were from all sections of the Australian community. \n\n\n\nImportantly\, the walks were not a protest but a peaceful demonstration that reflected a shift in the public mood and a growing awareness of the importance of reconciliation and a need for a national apology. \n\n\n\nWalk for reconciliation\, National Museum Australia \n\n\n\nFor reflection\n\n\n\nDid you\, or someone you know\, participate in a walk for reconciliation? How did you / they feel that day? And how do you / they feel about action for reconciliation now? \n\n\n\nTewnty years later\, how might we take up and support the Uluru Statement from the Heart?
