Reducing modern slavery with new digital and enforcement technologies

澳大利亚肉类和时尚行业发现了强迫劳动和抵押劳动以及贫困工资，自2016年以来的八项政府调查发现，执法工具不足是有效监管的障碍。该DECRA旨在评估是否以及如何通过调整数字技术的进步来加强执法，以满足劳动监管机构减少现代奴隶制战略的需求。这将通过对国内肉类加工和时尚供应链执法工作的案例研究以及对数字技术实际应用的研究来实现。调查结果将确定新的工具，以帮助发现这种在很大程度上隐藏的劳动力，并加强执法。

Forced and bonded labour, as well as poverty wages, have been uncovered in Australia's meat and fashion industries and eight government inquiries since 2016 have identified inadequate enforcement tools as an impediment to effective regulation. This DECRA aims to assess whether and in what ways enforcement can be enhanced by adapting advances in digital technologies to the needs of labour regulators for their strategies to reduce modern slavery. This will be achieved by case studies of enforcement efforts in domestic meat processing and fashion supply chains, as well as studies of practical applications of digital technologies. The findings will identify new tools to aid detection of this largely hidden workforce and bolster enforcement.
