To combat the grave problem of modern slavery in supply chains, governments rely on consumers and investors to hold corporations accountable. Yet little is known about the critical role civil society plays in empowering citizens to serve this function. In this world-first study of an anti-slavery advocacy network, this project aims to investigate how civil society can mobilise ethical consumerism to combat slavery. This project expects to generate new knowledge on how civil society can work with the state to address complex issues with ethical consumerism. Expected outcomes include the integration of successful strategies into policy and advocacy, to provide significant benefits in building Australia’s capacity to eradicate modern slavery.

为了解决供应链中现代奴隶制的严重问题，政府依靠消费者和投资者来追究公司的责任。然而，人们对民间社会在赋予公民履行这一职能的能力方面所发挥的关键作用知之甚少。在这个世界上第一个反奴隶制倡导网络的研究中，该项目旨在调查民间社会如何动员道德消费主义来打击奴隶制。该项目预计将产生关于民间社会如何与国家合作解决道德消费主义复杂问题的新知识。预期成果包括将成功的战略纳入政策和宣传，为建设澳大利亚消除现代奴隶制的能力带来重大惠益。
