What does forced labour and migrant worker exploitation look like in New Zealand?
September 11th Speaker
Dr Christina Stringer is Associate Professor, Centre for Research on Modern Slavery, University of Auckland Business School.
Christina has been undertaking research into temporary migrant worker exploitation in New Zealand for over a decade. Her research began with colleagues investigating the use of forced labour on board foreign vessels fishing in New Zealand’s waters. This research led to a significant shift in government policy. She then undertook research into the exploitation of temporary migrant workers in New Zealand, firstly, for a coalition of NGOs and most recently for the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE). Christina is a member of the Government’s Modern Slavery Leadership Advisory Group.
