People experiencing modern slavery are often hidden in plain sight, seeking refuge not in courtrooms but in hospitals, clinics and emergency rooms. Healthcare systems therefore play a pivotal role not only in providing care but also in securing justice for survivors. Eve Wintergreen is the St Vincent’s Health Australia anti-modern slavery project manager. She and her colleague Tarang Jain will be discussing modern slavery as a public health issue at the upcoming ANMF Australian Nurses & Midwives Conference.
