NATIONAL APPEAL: ACRATH LOSE FEDERAL FUNDINGACRATH (Australian Catholic Religious Against Trafficking in Humans) has launched a national fund-raising appeal after today’s announcement from the Federal Government revealed that it would not be funding ACRATH this year.
ACRATH’s Executive Officer Christine Carolan said the organisation was now completely reliant on the generosity of the community to continue working to combat modern day slavery and forced marriage. ‘We are very disappointed that the Government has not funded us for the coming year. But we are hopeful that the community, particularly the Catholic community, will support our work. We have come so far, but in some ways we are only just beginning to tackle emerging issues such as forced labour and forced marriage,’ Ms Carolan said.
