Slavery in New Zealand: What is the role of the health sector?
Paula King, Alison Blaiklock, Christina Stringer, Jay Amaranathan, Margot McLean
Slavery and its adverse health consequences is a serious, complex, and often hidden problem in New Zealand. We have endeavored to raise awareness about this neglected issue and highlight the numerous opportunities for doctors and other health practitioners to be leading advocates for change at government, health system and organisational levels. Responses should be based on the respect, promotion and protection of human rights, and occur within a robust person-centric coordinated government response to addressing slavery in New Zealand.
