SLAVES OF THE OCEAN
TELL NEW ZEALAND TO HELP END SLAVERY AT SEA:
Thousands of people are working in slavery-like conditions at sea. They are physically abused, forced to work for days on end and unable to leave without paying large exit fees. Here are the stories of workers from Indonesia, aboard Korean fishing vessels in New Zealand & International waters.

... and the football stadium workers in Qatar are also modern day slaves who are worked to death. Anyone supporting this 2020 competition is complicit in it...

In 2012, shocking reports hit the headlines that crew members were toiling as slaves aboard ships in New Zealand waters: threatened, abused and forced to work 30-hour shifts.
The Government of New Zealand has been slow to act, but parliament now has an opportunity to show its strong support for a proposed new law, which would help end modern slavery at sea.
By taking a strong stance, New Zealand will send a signal to other nations that slavery in the US$85 billion global fishing industry can never be tolerated.
