A new study by @UNSW and @JesuitSocialSer found 5% of Australian men reported having sexual feelings toward children and admitted to sexually offending children. They were 25 times more likely to hold views conducive to online child sex offending. ijm.org.au/news/media-releas…

Forging a strong global response to the online sexual exploitation of children is integral in the fight for justice. We are encouraged by this joint statement, expressing @albomp and @potus' recommitment to tackling this crime through bilateral coordination.

Jun Hao* thought he had accepted a customer service job, and only realised that something was terribly wrong when his boss locked the door behind him. He was forced to scam people, or risk getting beaten. Learn more about this heartbreaking crime: ijm.au/45kYxsC

“This Index serves as a wake-up call that intention without effective action is meaningless. A lack of action has real consequences – 10m more men, women & children are in #modernslavery today because govts have failed to act with the urgency required” -@jacquijlarsen

Grateful to @Peter_Wehner and @TheAtlantic for artfully weaving together my personal experience that sparked a question and eventually led to the creation of @IJM: “Who’s addressing the problem of violence among the poor?”
"International Justice Mission is the lengthened shadow of Gary Haugen," @Peter_Wehner writes. "It’s no surprise, then, that faith is an essential part of IJM’s work." on.theatln.tc/reEAicM

A very welcome development. I look forward to working with a federal Anti-Slavery Commissioner to help develop a more joined up response that delivers better outcomes for people, in NSW and beyond.
Replying to @MarkDreyfusKCMP
We've delivered a key election commitment to fund an Anti-Slavery Commissioner. Modern slavery - including human trafficking, forced labour and forced marriage - are abhorrent crimes. The Commissioner is part of our comprehensive Tackling Modern Slavery plan.
