The Women’s Legal Centre ACT is pleased to invite you to a free Exit Trafficking Seminar for Legal Practitioners, presented by Anti-Slavery Australia in collaboration with the Women's Legal Centre ACT.

Exit trafficking is where a person is forced, pressured or tricked into leaving Australia. After travelling overseas, they may be abandoned, trapped or exploited, often making it difficult for them to return to Australia or get help.

Key topics will include:

  • What is exit trafficking?
  • Common signs and indicators
  • Intersections with other forms of modern slavery and violence
  • Case studies
  • Support options and referral pathways

The seminar will take place from 10:30am-12:30pm on Thursday 4 December at Women's Legal Centre ACT, Canberra City (address to be provided on registration)

Light refreshments will be provided. Please register here by 19 November, noting that spaces will be limited.
