记者: 桑德拉2006年从斐济来到澳大利亚做管家。她说，在抵达一周后，所在的家庭拿走了自己的护照。

Despite their initial promises of a wage, and help obtaining permanent residency, Sandra says she was forced to work for them unpaid for three years.

The issue of forced labor is at the forefront of Australia’s fight to end modern day slavery.

强迫劳动问题是澳大利亚结束现代奴隶制斗争的首要问题。

SANDRA, SURVIVOR: I was doing all the housework like washing, cooking (INAUDIBLE) looking after the two dogs, and a little bit of gardening, and even massaging the lady of the house. When I asked for money, they would shout at me.

桑德拉: 我做了所有的家务，比如洗衣服，做饭(听不清)照看两只狗，做了一点园艺，甚至给房子里的女士按摩。当我要钱时，他们会对我大喊大叫。

REPORTER: Years later, after suspected tipoff from someone who knew the family, she says the Department of Immigration arrived at her door and were able to get her out.

记者: 多年后，有人透露了这个家庭的情况，于是移民局来到家门口，把她救了出来。

Once freed, she changed her name to Sandra for her safety. Soon after, she met this Sally Irwin who started the Freedom Hub. For the norm side cafe to raise funds and awareness, the Freedom Hub primarily runs a survivor school for people affected by slavery in Australia.

获释后，为了安全起见，她改名叫桑德拉。不久之后，她遇到了创建自由中心的萨莉·欧文。为了筹集资金和提高知名度，自由中心主要为澳大利亚受奴隶制影响的人们开办了一所幸存者学校。

SALLY IRWIN, FOUNDER, THE FREEDOM HUB: It’s a long wait, four to five-year wait for a court case to come around and what I was seeing was that these women are being in bedrooms, too scared to go out, there was no out here.

萨利·欧文，自由中心创始人：这是一个漫长的等待，四到五年的等待法院案件的到来，我所看到的是这些妇女在卧室里，太害怕不敢出去。

All right. So this is the class that we did.

好吧。这是我们上过的课。

It’s got a lot of courses, everything from personal care right to the language skills, right through the computer classes, the Australian culture.

这里有很多课程，从个人护理到语言技能，从计算机课程到澳大利亚文化。

I mean, you know, the really basic ones, might even be just how to get a bus to the beach and, you know, buy an ice cream. And bit by bit, they start to build their own confidence so that they feel that they can go out themselves, they start doing it together as a little group.

我的意思是，你知道，最基本的，甚至可能只是如何乘公共汽车去海滩，买一个冰淇淋。一点一点地，他们开始建立自己的信心，这样他们就觉得可以自己出去，开始作为一个小团体一起做这件事。

REPORTER: In 2019, Australia’s first modern slavery act has come into effect. Australian businesses with a revenue more than $100 million are required to report annually on the risks of modern slavery in their operations and supply chains and how they’ve addressed those risks.

记者：2019年，澳大利亚第一部现代奴隶制法案生效。年收入超过1亿美元的澳大利亚企业每年必须报告其经营和供应链中现代奴隶制的风险，以及他们如何应对这些风险。

IRWIN: What I love about it in Australia is that it will actually raise awareness. So I think the main impact will be that people will have more identification of victims.

欧文：我喜欢在澳大利亚的原因是它能提高人们的意识。所以我认为主要的影响将是会发现更多的受害者。
