“Empowering Women to End
Modern Slavery & Human Trafficking”.

October 16-18, 2026 Gold Coast Australia.

Speakers are invited to give presentations on how you, your group, charity, or department are empowering women to end slavery, human trafficking, forced migration, inveiglement and the bullying that leads to runaways tricked into being trafficked.

Speakers from all walks of life are welcome. We want to hear about the struggles on the ground in your country – and how we can help on a global scale.

Here are some examples of the many topics we would like to hear:

• Is slavery still legal in your country?
• Are women becoming empowered in your country to end slavery, trafficking and forced migration?
• Who are the major groups trying to force change in your country?
• Is forced migration a problem in your country?
• Are children allowed to go to school? (The lower the education, the more chance of being tricked or trapped in slavery)
• Is bullying being addressed in schools to stop runaways being trafficked?
• Are prosecutions & reparations increasing in your country?  See trafficking in persons report (select “LOCATION” in the right hand column on that page to select your country).
• Is your government inspecting mines, factories, farms, hotels etc for slave conditions?
• Are jails and prisons used as slave labour?  
• What help do you, or your group need, and how can the global community help?
