Australian-Based / Funded Projects
Other Projects

ACRATH is a national organization comprised of members of many different Religious Congregations and a number of consultant experts.
Its aim is to make a stand against all forms of trafficking in humans. It has a working group of 20 people, who are actively campaigning against trafficking on three fronts:
- Lobbying for a human rights–based approach to visas rather than a criminal justice-based approach. We are asking for every trafficked person to have a chance to heal in Australia after their trafficking ordeal. At the moment it is only people who are able or willing to testify against their traffickers who can access a visa.
- Raising awareness about trafficking by conducting community and school education programmes, (contact Stancea Vichie for details.)
- Supporting those who have been trafficked by supporting safe housing here in Australia and in repatriation programmes
Members actively lobby parliamentarians on Trafficking issues and are available to speak to school and community groups.
