Welcome to Slave Free Seas
Here you will find all the latest information about slavery like conditions in New Zealand waters
“Throughout the world, there are many fishing fleets that have highly exploitative, slave-like conditions,” said Matthew Friedman, UN.
“Up until now, very little has been done to address these conditions anywhere. The events that are unfolding in New Zealand could act as the first international test case on this matter – to draw a line in the sand for the fishing industry to say ‘this abuse will end here.’
This ground-breaking effort could become the beginning of a much larger movement to address these same issues on fishing boats all over the world.
The result of this being? A significant form of slavery is put to rest forever.”
